If the Forbidden City is where the Emperor lived as a man, the Temple of Heaven is where he went to be a god. It is a masterpiece of Ming Dynasty architecture that makes the "divine" feel tangible. It was the site of the most important annual ritual in ancient China. Your guide will show you the highlight of the Temple of Heaven-the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests: This is the iconic, triple-roofed circular tower with deep blue tiles (representing the sky). It was built entirely of wood with no nails and no cement, held up by 28 massive pillars that represent the seasons, months, and hours.
