China's famous ancient place for worshipping heaven 🪄 Temple of Heaven

#Mainland Travel The Temple of Heaven is a famous ancient Chinese site for offering sacrifices to heaven. Located in the southern part of Beijing, it was an important venue for emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to perform ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven. This magnificent complex is not only a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architecture, but also a world cultural heritage. 💞Recommended reasons: Round altar 👏🏻 The circular altar is the core building of the Temple of Heaven.
