This is the place if you’re looking for the beautiful landscape of Chinese temple. Make sure that you have a best weather of the day.

One of my best visit beside the Forbidden City (the history) and Simatai Great Wall (the landscape & the challenge). Temple of Heaven is truly a must visit if you’re in BeiJing.

Located just southern of Wang Fujing Street, about two or three km to the north gate of this temple. The ticket is 35 RMB for "through ticket", the ticket that allowed you to enter the main gate, the Circular of Mounds and the Temple of Heaven itself. In my opinion this is the place that I always want to take pictures and still want to. Specially when you have a bright blue sky. Magnificent.

Built first in 1420 during the Ming Emperor Yongle’s reign, it was expanded and renovated during the Ming Emperor Jiajing’s (1522-1566) and Qing Emperor Qianlong’s (1736-1795) reigns. The Temple of Heaven is a magnificent masterpiece of architecture in a solemn environment. Since the founding of New China, the government has allotted major resources to protect and restore the cultural monuments here. The Temple of Heaven with its long history, deep cultural significance and magnificent architectural style mirrors the ancient culture of the China.
