The Temple of Heaven is a whole park complex, on the territory of which the Temple of Heaven itself, the Temple of Earth and the altar of sacrifices are located.
The temple is located next to the metro station, which makes visiting comfortable. Advance booking of tickets is not required, as for other attractions in Beijing.
The Temple of Heaven is one of the main symbols of Beijing, as well as imperial power.
The best time to visit is March-April and September-October, when the trees are full of greenery and colors.
Squirrels live in the park.
There are several souvenir shops with reasonable prices on the territory of the complex. There are also small cafes for a snack.
Payment, as elsewhere, is mainly Alipay or cash.
Hello everyone Today it's about China. More precisely, about one of the iconic historical sites of Beijing. The Temple of Heaven. They say there are 3 places in Beijing that you should definitely visit - this is a section of the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven! I confirm!!! The places are iconic.
Let's start with the temple of heaven. It is much easier to visit it than the forbidden city, you do not need to pre-order a ticket, you do not need a passport, you just arrived, bought a ticket and that's it.
A fairly large park area with many interesting buildings, the main of which is the Temple of heaven itself. It is said that at one time the emperor's visit to this place lasted for several days. It was a leisurely ceremony, with spiritual relaxation, ablutions, meditations and prayers, all in different rooms. Fortunately, there are enough of them. Everyone is quite colorful. The blue roofs are the color of God, unlike the yellow, golden roofs in the forbidden city, this is the color of the emperor. There are several exhibitions on the territory, which are not very interesting, since almost all the exhibits are new. All the really valuable historical relics were taken out, stolen or ransomed by the British and French many years ago during the looting of China, the opium wars, etc. In general, there are historical similarities with Russia. But the main temple deserves attention, it is pompous and rich by Chinese standards. I recommend visiting in front of the wall and the forbidden city. Then the pleasant impressions will be on the rise.
Bye!
It is a magnificent structure, you can look inside a little, there is also a territory around the temple where you can walk, there are few buildings with exhibitions. However, there are always a lot of Chinese there
