Following your guide to explore the biggest temple in Beijing, please carry your passport and Chinese yuan cash with you to buy ticket. The Temple of Heaven Park, Tiantan in Chinese, is located in the Dongcheng District, Beijing.

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

Excellent tour guide

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 fascinating site not to be missed

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!

Roy is the Best!

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.

Interesting visit

Roy gave us a very interesting tour with the history of the park and the temple. He also mentions the customs of the Chinese and their rites.
