Temple of Heaven Park - Echo Wall

After passing Chengzhen Gate and walking south for a few dozen meters, you will arrive at the back of the Echo Wall.

When we were young, we went here on a spring outing. My classmates and I would lie on the wall and shout loudly, but we couldn’t hear what we were saying because there were so many tourists.

Now iron railings are used to block the distance between the wall and tourists, so everyone can only imagine.

The Echo Wall is located in the Temple of Heaven Park. It was originally the wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. It is located after passing the Circular Mound in the north when entering the Temple of Heaven from the south gate. It is built with polished bricks with regular arcs and extremely smooth surface. Therefore, in the beginning, if someone spoke close to the wall, the sound would be transmitted to the other side even if it was 100 to 200 meters away.



However, it is almost unheard of now. There are always people with no manners who carve words on the wall, such as "I was here" and so on. Because such vandalism continues despite repeated warnings, the fences are raised and extended...

Temple of Heaven, I happened to pass by and took a few photos. I didn't try because there is too much noise now, not as quiet as in ancient times

It is said that seeing the scenery is not as good as hearing it. Even if the Echo Wall is a legend or a trick, ordinary people still enjoy it and want to try it. It is worth a try. I posted a photo of my wife and children at the Echo Wall more than 30 years ago. It is fun to reminisce.

This is a famous echo wall. The circular wall and the small space allow the sound to reflect back. There were too many people and I couldn't feel it properly.

Walk along the middle avenue and you will reach the Echo Wall. The amazing thing is that you can answer the phone by standing on one side.

Walking beside it, I thought about the principle of physical echo. It was engraved with who had visited here. Because of this, there were fences inside and outside. Then many people around me were still testing its performance, and several foreigners kept saying hello. There were too many people that day, because it was already 10:30 in the morning when I went there, so I was a little disappointed.

The Whispering Wall is very magical. It is actually a circular wall. If you stand on the three-sound stone in the center, you can hear an echo, hence the name. The main principle is that the surrounding walls will reflect sound. The wisdom of the ancients is amazing.

The Echo Wall is located around the Huangqiongyu, the central axis of the Temple of Heaven. It has long been surrounded by fences, and due to the noisy voices, there is no echo feeling.

It is a magical place. If you stand between the whispering walls and say something, people near the other whispering walls can hear it. There were no guardrails before, but now they have been added because many people have carved words on them. The echo is not very clear now.

Many people were shouting at the walls, laughing and talking. In a few places, you could actually hear other people talking, although it wasn't very clear (maybe because there were so many people!). It was amazing! It was amazing! There was really an echo effect, not bad, not bad!

There were too many people and it was too noisy. I couldn't hear any echo.

The bricks used in the Echo Wall are produced in Linqing County, Shandong Province. They are characterized by "making sounds when knocked and having no holes when broken", and are good reflectors of sound. The wall structure is very tight and not easy to absorb sound, and the surface of the wall is also very smooth, so as long as two people stand under the wall of the back courtyard of the east and west side halls respectively, they can clearly hear each other's voice even if they are 40 or 50 meters apart. The call and response, question and answer are very interesting.

Only when there are fewer tourists can you feel the magic of the Echo Wall.

It is said that if one person stands under the wall of the east side hall and speaks softly towards the north wall, while another person stands under the wall of the west side hall and speaks softly towards the north wall, and the two people put their ears close to the wall, they can clearly hear each other's voices at the other end. Unfortunately, there were too many people when we went there, and the results were not very ideal.

It was severely damaged by human beings, and there is still a bit of an echo effect.

It was the place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties offered sacrifices to the heaven and prayed for a good harvest. It is the largest building complex for offering sacrifices to the heaven in the world.

On both sides of the Huangqiong Hall are the Yufu Halls, which have hip roofs, blue glazed tile roofs, six steps on the front, and are decorated with spiral paintings. The East Hall enshrines the God of Great Brightness (the sun), the Big Dipper, the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the stars in the sky, while the West Hall enshrines the God of Night Brightness (the moon), the gods of clouds, rain, wind, and thunder.

I tried the sound wall and I can really hear it O(∩_∩)O

The echo wall can really hear the echo! Too many people, very noisy

Huangqiongyu is a place for worshipping the Circular Mound Altar and storing the tablets of the gods. It was first built in the 9th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty and was originally named Taishen Temple. It was renamed Huangqiongyu in the 17th year of Jiajing. The dome in the hall has a golden dragon caisson in the middle, a golden double dragon ceiling, golden pillars with golden lotus, and golden dragon and seal paintings inside and outside.

Inside the altar, there are also the Echo Wall, the Three-tone Stone, the Dialogue Stone, etc., which are cleverly constructed using acoustic principles, fully demonstrating the advanced level of ancient Chinese architectural technology. Unfortunately, due to the large number of tourists who have touched it many times, the Echo Wall has undergone subtle changes in its structure. In order to protect it, tourists are no longer allowed to touch or talk to it at close range. However, standing outside the fence next to the wall, you can still vaguely hear the prosperous sounds of the heyday and the echoes of history along the way.

Another special feature of Huangqiongyu is its wall - the famous Echo Wall.

It is said that if two people stand at the corners behind the east and west side halls respectively, one person leans against the wall and speaks toward the north, while the other puts his ear close to the wall, they can clearly hear what each other is saying, even if it is very soft.

Paopao and I didn’t believe it at first, but then we tried it ourselves.

Nowadays, the scenic spot has set up an iron railing to protect the wall. We can only lean forward as close to the wall as possible and speak in a lower voice than the normal conversation. I didn’t expect that after waiting for a while, I could really hear what the other party said! It’s amazing! Even after I learned the principle of echo, I still find it incredible! The skilled craftsmen in ancient times were all extraordinary geniuses!

The wonder of ancient Chinese architecture is reflected here.

There are so many people in this place that you can't even hear any echoes, so just come and see the ancient monuments.

The Echo Wall is the wall outside the Imperial Vault of Heaven. The Echo Wall I searched online is the Circular Mound. I have been deceived by textbooks for more than 10 years.

Outside the Imperial Vault of Heaven is the Echo Wall. If two people stand at the east-west wall of the courtyard and whisper to each other facing north, they can talk to each other like on the phone, which is very interesting and wonderful. This is the origin of the name of the Echo Wall. Now we can no longer try it because the outside of the Echo Wall has been surrounded by a railing. The reason is the phenomenon that everyone knows about.

I took my kids there. After watching the flag-raising ceremony in the morning, we went to the Temple of Heaven. We went in when the Echo Wall was just opened. There were not many people at that time. We didn't know how to play it at first, but later we searched on Baidu. My husband went to the back of the East Side Hall and whispered. We listened from the back of the West Side Hall. The sound was clear and interesting.

值得一去的地方.準備迎接美好一天

I really want to smell the pen, but unfortunately I can only play with it when no one is around.

Located in the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing, it is a wall. Because the curvature of the wall has certain rules, the sound waves are reflected and can be transmitted to the other side, giving people a mysterious atmosphere of "heaven-man communication". In the past, you could go to the wall to listen, but now there are guardrails and you can't get close.

The Echo Wall is the wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It is 3.72 meters high, 0.9 meters thick, 61.5 meters in diameter and 193.2 meters in circumference. There are three buildings inside the wall, one of which is called the Imperial Vault of Heaven. The entire wall is neat and smooth.

It is a pity that due to the graffiti by tourists, the Echo Wall has lost its original smoothness and the echo has become a legend.

The Temple of Heaven Echo Wall reflects ancient my country's superb architectural technology and precise grasp of sound propagation.

Famous cultural relics and historical sites, I admire the wisdom of our ancestors and created such ingenious buildings

Although I didn't feel the echo of the echo wall, it looked magical.

After listening carefully, I really felt the magic of this echo wall. It is really as its name suggests.

There is an echo wall in Huangqiongyu where you can really hear the echo. You can try it yourself.

The echo wall, my grandfather and his daughter tried it many times but it didn’t seem to have the effect the tour guide said it would. Could it be that we were opening it the wrong way?

A scenic spot that appeared in elementary school textbooks, but the echo effect is gone

The Echo Wall is said to be a seamless structure, so it can conduct sound. The circular structure of the Echo Wall surrounds the Imperial Vault of Heaven, with a diameter of 50-100m. Two people can try it out. It has two sections of diameter. Try talking, it feels like making a phone call, the sound is super clear

On the way to the Circular Mound, we passed by the Echo Wall, which is the wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. The tour guide on the road said that the curvature of this wall is very regular, the wall surface is extremely smooth and neat, and the reflection of sound waves is very regular. As long as two people stand behind the east and west side halls, close to the wall, and one person speaks to the north against the wall, the sound waves will be refracted continuously along the wall and transmitted to the other end of one or two hundred meters. No matter how soft the voice is, the other party can hear it clearly, and the sound is long and interesting, creating a mysterious atmosphere of "heaven-man communication". But now it seems that there is no such function.

I went to visit the Temple of Heaven today and bought a combined ticket. There were quite a few people visiting today, but my husband and I still tried the effect of the echo wall! One of us was in the east and the other in the west, and we could really hear what each other said. It's a pity that too many tourists had damaged it before, so now we have to fence off the echo wall. I hope everyone will join the ranks of protecting ancient buildings!

A scenic spot in the Temple of Heaven, many people are shouting inside, it is hard to hear

The Echo Wall at the Temple of Heaven has almost no echo effect now due to the passage of time and the unconscious carving of words on it by the people. We urge everyone to cherish our national property and not to destroy it.

It is located in a corner of the Temple of Heaven Park. As newbies, we have only seen its shape but have never heard of it, which is a great pity!

As a Chinese, how can you not come and see this place that records history?

Although I went there with my friends on the National Day, it felt like there weren't many people, but the scenery of the Temple of Heaven Park was great! It was just that I was really tired after playing with her for several days in a row! ! When I came back, I heard a familiar local accent on the road in a pine forest! I was so moved and wanted to join in! !

Hehe fikfdfgkf gkf

Generally, it was surrounded, so there was no way to experiment.

The ticket to the Temple of Heaven is 10 yuan. But you still need to pay for the ticket after entering. The Echo Wall and other things cost 20 yuan.

However, I personally feel that the echo wall function seems to be ineffective. Sometimes I feel very sad when I see the walls are engraved with "I was here". It is simply a disgrace to my low quality.

.The Echo Wall is the wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. It is actually a round building and a round enclosure. You can see the magic of the building from the outside. It is based on the principle of echo effect. In fact, it is because of the smooth walls. Now the walls are not smooth...

Hmm... Although this one doesn't look special at all, I really don't know where it is without listening to the explanation.

The Temple of Heaven is especially worth visiting because once you go there you will find that the ancient craftsmen were really amazing. Their craftsmanship is quite good. In short, I really admire them.

The Echo Wall is the circular wall surrounding the Huangqiongyu courtyard. However, it has been severely damaged and has many inscriptions on it, so a guardrail has to be installed next to it. As a result, tourists cannot experience the echo effect of the Echo Wall, which is a pity~~

The Echo Wall in the Temple of Heaven Park in southwest Beijing is a majestic building. Facing the wall, people who are at a certain angle can hear the sound. It is very magical.

The Echo Wall is also a major attraction of the Temple of Heaven. It is also a must-see for Chinese and foreign tourists when they come to the Temple of Heaven Park. It is well located in the park, on the outer wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. The environment is naturally excellent. Sound can be transmitted through the wall around the Echo Wall. Of course, it is difficult to experience when there are many tourists. Various people shouted in the courtyard that there was no need for echoes. Of course, many words were carved on the wall by tourists, which was very bad. I don’t know how the park managers manage it. The Echo Wall is also a precious property left by our ancestors. I heard that some of the techniques have not been fully solved until now...

Located in the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing, the Echo Wall is a circular wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven, about 3.72 meters high, 0.9 meters thick, and 204.728 meters in circumference. The wall is made of Shandong Linqing bricks with polished joints, and is covered with blue glazed tile roofs. Because the wall has a very regular curvature and the wall surface is extremely smooth and neat, it becomes a good reflector of sound waves, which can be continuously reflected and propagated along the wall.

If two people stand behind the east and west side halls, close to the wall, and one person speaks to the north, the sound waves will be refracted along the wall and reach the other side of the hall 100 to 200 meters away.

天壇的其中一個景點，很多人在對著牆大喊大叫。

This is a tourist attraction in the Temple of Heaven Park. I didn't hire a tour guide and couldn't understand what it was about.

Master of history～～After so many years～～I can still hear the voice from thousands of years ago～～

The Echo Wall is the wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven, with a circumference of nearly 200 meters. The wall is made of polished bricks with seams, and the top of the wall is covered with blue glazed tiles. The arc of the wall is very regular. As long as two people stand behind the east and west side halls, close to the wall, and one person speaks to the north against the wall, the sound waves will be refracted along the wall and transmitted to the other end of one or two hundred meters. No matter how soft the voice is, the other party can hear it clearly, and the sound is long and interesting, creating a mysterious atmosphere of "heaven and man in touch", so it is called the "Echo Wall". This is a place we often went to when we were young. Now it is charged separately, but it is a must for tour groups.

One of the must-see attractions at the Temple of Heaven. It is said that if you shout at the Echo Wall, you will hear three echoes. There were too many tourists, so I didn't dare to shout.

It is part of the Temple of Heaven Park and also part of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Part of the Temple of Heaven scenic area, many people stood in the middle and took turns taking photos

One of the attractions in the Temple of Heaven. It is recommended to enter from the south gate, buy a combined ticket, and then visit all the way north without taking a detour. The Echo Wall is at the second attraction. When visiting, I rubbed my hands with the tour guide and listened to the explanation. The tour guide said that its design is completely in line with the law of pi, so it is said that if you put your ear against the wall, you can hear various sounds coming from other directions. However, there were too many people shouting at the scene, and there were all kinds of railings around, so I couldn't listen carefully, so I couldn't feel it, but this is a very famous place!

When I was a kid, I liked to play the sound transmission game in the Echo Wall with my dad when we went to the Temple of Heaven. Now the Echo Wall has been sealed due to serious damage, and I don’t have the same feeling as when I was a kid.

There are many people at the Echo Wall in the Temple of Heaven Park. For protection, there is a fence, so I couldn't try out the echo effect, but there are still many people trying it. [The Echo Wall is the wall of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. The wall is 3.72 meters high, 0.9 meters thick, 61.5 meters in diameter, and 193.2 meters in circumference.

So it is called the "Echo Wall". ]

The echo wall is not actually very big, but many people came to watch it. I feel that the echo wall has been damaged by the crowds. The uneven ground is enough to show its pathetic state. . . Why not let it rest for a few days?

The main reason is that its shape is rare in ancient buildings and is quite unique. I am curious about how the ancients built the stone foundation into a circle.

When I went there in March, there were not many tourists. Fortunately,

The Echo Wall is part of the Huangqiongyu. Strictly speaking, it is the wall of the Huangqiongyu. What is peculiar is its echo effect. As long as two people stand at one end, no matter how soft the voice is, they can hear it clearly, and the sound is long and magical.

Unfortunately, although we are full of curiosity about the Echo Wall, we can no longer experience the effect of the echo in person. The reason is that the echo effect is not as good as before. First, the Echo Wall has been damaged, which affects the echo effect. Second, the surrounding environment makes the echo effect less obvious. Therefore, the Echo Wall has been protected now. We can only see its appearance but not hear its sound.

Listen to the commentator talking on this side, and you can hear it on the other side of the wall. Unfortunately, there are too many people to try it.

The picture of the honeycomb is actually Huanqiu. It is best to go here early, when there are few people, stand in the center, speak loudly, and you can feel some sound. This place is known as one of the three major acoustic phenomena of the Temple of Heaven, along with the Echo Wall and the Three Sound Stones.

The green environment is pretty good and the hygiene is much better than other places. The promotion of green environment depends on everyone.

I didn't feel the echo of the Echo Wall because the walls are now surrounded by railings and I can't get close to it. Maybe too many people have left traces of their visit here. If it can be well protected, I would be willing to experience without the so-called echo. It would be nice to just watch it quietly.

I hope more people can practice civilized tourism and respect and protect cultural relics.
