Another not to be missed Beijing landmark. Not a very big place. It takes about 1.5 hours to finish exploring the whole place. Combine it with Summer Palace to enjoy a full day of Beijing cultural immersion. Recommended to Come here

On the south side of forbidden city, this temple was a place for emperor annual worship to heaven. The temple itself is the focal point, surrounding and back buildings are painted with traditional royal colors blue, gold and red. Enjoy the awe and solitude while walking along the corridors.

Nice in May. Weather was cooler after hot peak (little rain). Obviously main attraction is slightly busy with tourists so good luck taking a photo without someone else in the picture. Easily walk casually in about 2 hours.

I Love the building here. It's very overwhelming looking at the Temple of Heaven. Reasons to Recommend: You've just gotta come here and see it live in front of you. 😍

Thought the temple only has the central structure and allocated 2h for visit. Ended up spending an entire day exploring the entire park facilities, garden and snapping the temple from different angles

went there with my dad for holiday and it was indeed beautiful! less people during that time and it was good for taking pics.
