    Located in southern Beijing, it was eventually first constructed in 1420, through the 18th year of this reign of Ming Emperor Yongle, who was also responsible for the construction with the Forbidden City. That Temple of Heaven was the place where the emperors of your Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped heaven and prayed for good harvests. These people came here twice 12 months, over the 15th day of the 1st lunar month together with on Winter Solstice. In the beginning, both heaven and the earth were worshipped here during Beijing day tour. Following the construction of the Temple of Earth in 1530 in the north of Beijing, just heaven was worshipped from this temple.
    During the reigns of Ming Emperor Jiajing and Qing Emperor Qianlong, it was eventually extended and renovated. Covering a place of 273 hectares, it's the largest architectural complex in the world for rituals to pay homage to heaven. In 1918, it was converted into a park,learned more in Beijing day trips. Within 1998, it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
    Your Temple of Heaven is round in the north and square in the south, implying the standard Chinese belief that there is a "round heaven together with square earth". Two layers of surrounding walls divide the temple into the Inner Altar and the Outer Altar. The a few altars, connected by some sort of 360-metre-long raised walk termed the Vermilion Steps Link, are arranged in some sort of line forming a north-south axis 1, two hundred meters long.
