Beijing Temples
The Temple of Heaven is probably Beijing's most well-known temple, but the city contains literally hundreds of other temples.
The Ming Dynasty Temple of Heaven (or "Altar of Heaven"), which is located in the south of the Temple of Heaven Park, was used as an altar by the the Emperor to perform his ceremonial rites as the Son of Heaven: praying for good harvests, seeking forgiveness from the gods for the wrong-doings and sins of the Chinese people.
