หอสักการะเทียนถาน (Temple of Heaven)

#TravelChina

Another important landmark of Beijing that you shouldn't miss.

We came here in the afternoon. The weather was cool and comfortable to walk around. The place is located in a large park. The atmosphere is shady, suitable for a relaxing walk.

The Temple of Heaven was originally a place where the emperor held a ritual to worship heaven and pray for the country to be prosperous and rainy in season.

The main building is the "Prayer for Crops", a round blue architecture, very beautiful and outstanding. When I first saw it, I was amazed.

There are many important buildings and places to see around, such as:
• Echo Wall
• Altar of Heaven
• Temple of the Seasons

✨ It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes because the area is wide. And leave half a day to walk around and see everything.

🏖️Environment/Facilities: Most of the toilets are squatting, but it is okay to use.

✨ It is recommended to bring food and drinks because it is tiring to walk.

🗓️Travel planning: You can take the didi and get off at the Temple of Heaven or take the subway line 5 and get off at Tiantandongmen station.

We bought tickets for the trip. To save time and get in right away
