As early as 1000 years ago, it was opened as a large-scale royal garden, which is one of the most beautiful places in Beijing.

The design idea of Taiye Pool can be traced back to an ancient legend: there are three fairy mountains in the East Sea, Penglai, Yingzhou and Abbot, and the immortals in the mountains have immortal pills. Both Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi sent people to look for it, but they found nothing. Therefore, the emperors of past dynasties simply built a fairy mountain in the water near the palace, turning the ethereal fantasy into a tangible reality.

The total area of the Temple of Heaven is 2.7 million square meters, which is four times larger than the Forbidden City.
