Temple of Heaven (天坛)




Temple of Heaven


It was built in Ming Dynasty and expanded few times in Qing Dynasty. It is the place for Emperors to worship for whole year harvest to god.



Surrounding the temple are many types of tree and plants. But it is now being converted into a beautiful garden.


This is another corner of the garden, the leafs of these trees have dropped because it is now winter time. If we visit this place during the spring time, then it should be much nicer.
