Temple of Heaven Admission Ticket

A must-visit course
if you are traveling in Beijing

The Temple of Heaven was a special place where the emperor performed sacrifices to heaven, such as praying for rain or a bountiful harvest for the following year.

Ancient Chinese people believed that the sky was round and the earth was square, so they made things related to the sky round and things related to the earth square. For this reason, the Temple of Heaven, where sacrifices were made to the sky, is also made entirely of circles. Visit the Temple of Heaven and see the principles of heaven and earth and the authority of the emperor!

Explore the Echo Wall

The Echo Wall, also called the的回音壁, surrounds the Huangqiongyu, a shrine that prepares for the sacrificial rites. The Echo Wall is designed in such a way that when a sound is made towards the wall on one side, the sound travels around the wall, allowing it to be heard on the other side. This means that the emperor's prayers are delivered to the heavens through all people, so why don't you visit this place and make a wish?
