Temple of Heaven Photos

This gallery brings together my photos from the Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing’s most important historic and cultural landmarks. Set within a vast park, the site is known for its striking circular architecture, deep symbolism and peaceful open spaces once used by emperors for annual ceremonies. These images capture the colours, symmetry and atmosphere of exploring the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the surrounding grounds during my China tour.
