Beijing Travel Guide

The Temple of Heaven, 2km south of Tiananmen, is one of Beijing's greatest hits, a stunning piece of multi-coloured
Ming design and wood workmanship finished in 1420 AD; the temple squats on the spot where Heaven meets Earth
according to Chinese tradition. The main building, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, pictured,
is built entirely of wood without use of nails.
