Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China, is a stunning example of ancient Chinese architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This vast complex, surrounded by beautiful gardens, was where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties performed annual ceremonies to pray for a good harvest. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, with its iconic circular design and intricate blue roof, is a highlight. Walking through the temple grounds, visitors can admire the harmonious blend of architectural splendor

In the garden, far from the crowds, you can spend a peaceful moment. Recommended to Temple of Heaven. Beautiful Temple and flowers

But, if you want to find yourself in the local atmosphere, with people who stand in front of you when you want to take photos, who speak loudly, who clear their throats all the time or even go behind the barriers to take photos, weekend is the best time.

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. 😍

Zhao Wenxuan's tour guide is particularly good, patiently explaining the whole process, and introducing the historical background of the Temple of Heaven is very professional. I also brought a picture book to understand the historical context more comprehensively. Because I brought a three-year-old child, there will be a pause in the explanation process, and the child can't listen to the whole process. It is also to appease, explain it again, and ask interesting questions for the child to answer. I came to the Temple of Heaven 10 years ago when I was traveling to see the flowers, see the scenery and take photos. This time I want to visit in depth. This way to understand the history and past is particularly good. I also admire the ancient emperors. There is a chance to experience the in-depth explanation next time, it is very necessary and worth it!
