Temple of Heaven Photos

The Temple of Heaven is a worthwhile visiting place in Beijing, built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven. It is enclosed by a long wall. Its north part is semicircular symbolizing heaven and the south is square like the earth. The design shows that the heaven is high over the earth, reflecting ancient Chinese thought of "The heaven is round and the earth is square". Attraction Intro: Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven photos are beautiful. What I found striking about the history is that the Chinese emperors and people believed in saying thanks to the heavens and asking for the good of the future. This means that they were worshiping God. It is later on, with time that people have forgotten to worship God who gives us everything and to thank God for everything He gives us. I hope in the future more people worship God the Lord of the Universes and turn to God for their needs. Thank you.
