The Temple of Heaven is the most beautiful temple of Beiijing, formerly known as Peking, and is a perfect example of Ming architecture. The temple was built in 1420 and stands in the middle of a large park. The Temple was restored for the last in 1890. For the Olympics again in 2007, however, is the temple painted again. The complex was in 1949 opened to the public.
The temple is surrounded by a famous echo wall. Even if you speak softly people on the other side of the wall can hear you clearly.
