This rectangular fortress stretches 968 meters from north to south and 759 meters from east to west, enclosed by an 11-meter-high wall and a 50-meter-wide moat. The complex is segmented into the Outer Court and the Inner Court.

Temple of Heaven - Next, you will take the subway to the Temple of Heaven, a sacred site where Ming and Qing dynasty emperors performed annual rites to honor Heaven and pray for abundant crops. Renowned for its precise architectural design, unique structures, and splendid decorations, the Temple of Heaven spans approximately 2.73 million square meters, with distinct inner and outer altar areas. To conclude the experience, you may enjoy a few cups of tea at a local tea house before returning to your hotel.
