Description
Bougainville, welcome to Temple of Heaven, Beijing, China 06/48
View towards the Northern entrance of this huge temple complex in Beijing
The Temple of Heaven is much bigger than the Forbidden City and smaller than the Summer Palace with an area of about 2,700,000 square meters. The Temple was built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven. As Chinese emperors called themselves 'The Son of Heaven' ,they dared not to build their own dwelling, 'Forbidden City' bigger than a dwelling for Heaven.
Have a very nice weekend
