China's Beijing
Temple of Heaven
Here lies a truly superb example of the Ming Dynasty and its phenomenal architecture. The Temple of Heaven, one of China’s most prized treasures, is both a transmitter to the heavens and an icon of Beijing, as it is a diagram of Chinese cosmology.
The lavish interior of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests reveals a circular design that incorporates timeless cosmological principles while the rituals performed here established the divine link between heaven and the son of heaven, channeling eternal law to the Earth.
