"Temple of Heaven." Temple of Heaven Tip by Guantanamera

Temple of Heaven, Beijing: 163 reviews and 324 photos

 
 

Beijing's most famous temple is a classic piece of Chinese architecture... It is also surrounded by a beautiful gigantic park area which you can explore... According to VT member "qiyixy", who actually works at the Temple of Heaven, "The emperor came to the Temple of Heaven twice a year. In January he came to the Hall of Pray for Good Harvests to pray for good harvests. On the winter solstice he came to the circular mound altar to worship heaven."

Posing here are my Chinese surprise tour guides, a couple of American friends and myself at far right...

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
