The Temple of Heaven is an ancient complex of religious buildings in Beijing, China, where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties prayed for good harvests. Constructed between 1406 and 1420, it features iconic structures like the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Circular Mound Altar. The temple's design symbolizes the connection between Heaven and Earth, with intricate details reflecting Chinese cosmology. Today, the Temple of Heaven is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular park where locals and tourists can enjoy cultural performances and recreational activities.
