The Temple of Heaven (Heavenly Tower)
The Temple of Heaven is an ancient, historic complex in Beijing, China, built in the 15th century. It served as a ceremonial site where emperors performed rituals to ensure good harvests and heaven’s favor. Its architecture features a series of beautifully crafted, symbolic structures, notably the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, a large, circular hall with a distinctive blue roof. The design emphasizes harmony with nature and celestial symbolism. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular place for visitors to experience Chinese history, culture, and traditional park activities.
