Operating Schedule: Today, your guide will meet you in the hotel lobby. Together, you’ll take the subway or a public bus to the Temple of Heaven. This temple was constructed for the ceremonies performed by the Chinese emperor, who was believed to be the Son of Heaven. The emperor conducted sacrifices to heaven to pray for a bountiful harvest. This ceremony was extremely significant to the Chinese people, as they believed that even the smallest error could lead to a poor year for the entire nation, especially during the winter solstice.
As the largest and best-preserved royal park in China, it has a significant impact on Chinese horticulture and landscape design with its renowned natural scenery and cultural elements.
