The "Temple of Heaven" is the most prominent landmark of the Chinese capital, Beijing. Its construction dates back nearly 500 years and covers an area of 2 million and 700,000 square meters. According to Chinese beliefs, it is a "link between heaven and earth."
Work began on the construction of the temple in the Ming Dynasty in 1420. As a result of the belief that the earth is square and the sky is circular, its base is shaped like a square and the upper floors are round. The square base consists of several degrees to symbolize the links between heaven and earth.
The temple was listed in 1998 as UNESCO's World Heritage List, the largest of its kind in China. It was also used in its red color, which symbolizes luxury and the blue color symbolizing immortality.
The main landmark of the Chinese capital Beijing was designed from the inside in a curved shape to allow for the frequency of the sound, and traditional Chinese forms were used to decorate it. In some parts of the temple, which is made up of three sections, one for worship, one for tennis, and the third for offering offerings, the technique was used without nails.
The temple has six doors, four of them main, on each side of the four, surrounded by a park with large numbers of old pine trees.
The Temple of Heaven was opened to tourists in 1998 and hosts a number of exhibitions known for its history and symbolism.
