It is the largest and most representative existing masterpiece among China's ancient sacrificial buildings. Originally, the Temple of Heaven was the place where emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 –1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911) held the Heaven Worship Ceremony.
In 1988, it was opened to the public as a park, showing ancient philosophy, history, and religion. Its grand architectural style and profound cultural connotation give an insight into the practices of the ancient Eastern civilization

Customer Reviews
The best decision we made in Beijing was joining Roy’s tour of the Temple of Heaven. Earlier that morning, we had visited the Forbidden City with another guide and honestly, it was quite disappointing. But Roy completely changed the game! His English is excellent, and he knows so much—not only about the site we were visiting, but also about Beijing and China in general. The two hours went by in a flash! He shared so many interesting stories and facts that I felt I could have listened to him talk for hours. Highly recommend—if you can, do all your tours with Roy!
Very good guide, we learnt a lot!
The temple is really impressive. What makes it even more fascinating is the genial and engaging guest interaction of the guide Roy. A superb young man, highly educated, always there by your side pointing out details, telling story and asking you questions to make sure you get a deeper connection with the plot of the many storirs the monuments disclosures to you. It is a gradual process carried on in a light and somehow enertaining personal way. His creative method is great for children or adult child of any age…From 6 to 99. A level of communication not too high and not too low. The right medium tone good for all. Roy was the real additional value of my visit enriched by his humour and open minded attitude!
Incredible guided tour! Roy Lie is an educational guide who knows how to combine funny anecdotes with historical facts and immerses us in Chinese culture
Roy is so knowledgeable about the temple of heaven and I learned so much, I also asked him a few other questions about Chinese history and he knew the answers to all of them. Definitely go on his tour.
