Temple of Heaven







The temple was used by the Ming and Qing Dynasties emperors to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for rich harvests. It was built by the Yongle emperor (1420) and has a total land area of the temple is 2.72 million sq miles.







This is the stone where the Ming and Qing Emperors converse with "God"... It is now a tourist attaction and many tourists stand over the stone to see if there's any effect on them when standing on the stone.
