Temple of heaven ❄️

Located on the east side outside the Zhengyang Gate, the Temple of Heaven was used as a site by emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to offer sacrifice to heaven and pray for bumper harvests. The northern part of the Temple of Heaven is semicircular while the southern part is square, a pattern representing the ancient belief that "Heaven is round and Earth square". Surrounded by a double wall, and covering an area of 273 hectares, it is divided into the Inner Temple and the Outer Temple by the double wall. Main buildings are concentrated in the Inner Temple. As a masterpiece of building techniques of Ming and Qing dynasties, the Temple of Heaven is a precious ancient architecture and the world's largest building complex for offering sacrifice to heaven. 🕰️Business Hours:Peak Season (From April 1 to October 31): 6:00-22:00 (Last entry at 21: 00) Off Season (From November 1 to March 31): 6:30-22:00 (Last entry at 21:00) Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Eco Wall, Circular Mound Altar, Fasting Palace Divine Kitchen, Animal Sacrifice Pavilion and Divine Music Administration: Peak Season: 8:00-18:00 (Last entry at 17:30) Off Season: 8:00-17:00 (Last entry at 16:30) Scenic spots above are closed on Mondays (Except for statutory holidays) 💰Average Price per Person:Peak Season: Admission Ticket: CNY 15, Discount Ticket: CNY 7.5 Combined Ticket: CNY 34, Discount Ticket: CNY 17 Off Season: Admission Ticket: CNY 10, Discount Ticket: CNY five Admission Ticket: CNY 28, Discount Ticket: CNY 14 Scenic Spots: Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Eco Wall and Circular Mound Altar: Admission Ticket: CNY 20, Discount Ticket: CNY 10 Divine Music Administration: Admission Ticket: CNY 10, Discount Ticket: CNY five Note: Foreign visitors can book a ticket on the WeChat Official Account "Temple of Heaven Official Ticketing Platform" with their permanent residence permit or passport. 📍Address:Address: No.7, Tiantan'neidongli, Dongcheng District, Beijing Metro: Exit A of the Tiantandongmen Station on Line 5; Exit C of the Tianqiao Station on Line 8 #beijing #mytravelhacks
