How long does it take to visit Temple of Heaven Park?

It is better to spend half a day in the Temple of Heaven Park.

The Temple of Heaven Park is twice the size of the Forbidden City, because the emperor is called the "Emperor", which is also the son of "God". The old man's living area is naturally larger than his son's, so the Temple of Heaven covers an area twice as large as the Forbidden City. For the same reason, the building is covered with "dark blue" glazed tiles on the roof to show that it is different from the "yellow" glazed tiles of the son's generation.

The Temple of Heaven Park is located in the south of Beijing, on the east side of Yongdingmennei Street in Dongcheng District. It covers an area of ??approximately 2.73 million square meters. The Temple of Heaven was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), and was rebuilt during the Qianlong and Guangxu reigns of the Qing Dynasty. It was a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties offered sacrifices to the emperor and prayed for a good harvest. The Temple of Heaven is famous for its rigorous architectural layout, unique architectural structures and magnificent architectural decorations.
