[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Temple of Heaven (Updated Jun)

Traveling to Beijing was truly a bittersweet experience 😭 I didn't plan my route in advance, so when I arrived in Beijing, I was like a headless fly, wanting to go here one moment and there the next, resulting in wasting most of my time on the road. I also didn't check the opening hours of attractions beforehand, so I traveled all that way only to find they were closed—it was heartbreaking. Plus, I randomly picked a restaurant near a tourist site to eat, and the food was both expensive and terrible—I was completely miserable. But! Beijing is amazing, with deep historical heritage and a strong modern vibe. There are so many delicious foods and fun activities that you can never explore enough! Here's how to enjoy Beijing in May without any regrets~ Day 1: Arrive in Beijing → Sanlitun → Taste Beijing snacks Arrive in Beijing in the morning. I recommend choosing Beijing Capital International Airport as it's close to the city center with convenient transportation. Take the airport express train and transfer to the subway to your hotel. Staying near Xidan is ideal—transportation is convenient with everything you need in one place 🐉. After dropping off your luggage, visit Sanlitun for some shopping. It's fashionable and lively, filled with trendy shops and beautiful people, plus plenty of Instagram-worthy photo spots 📸. When you get tired, try some Beijing snacks like "baodu" (tripe) and "luzhu" (braised offal). They're delicious and will instantly make you fall in love with the city's vibrant atmosphere. Day 2: Tiananmen Square → Forbidden City → Jingshan Park Get up early, leaving around 4 AM to watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. In May, the sun rises early, so arrive early to get a good spot. Remember not to bring lighters, selfie sticks, etc., as security is strict. After the ceremony, you can visit the Memorial Hall to pay respects to Chairman Mao (dress appropriately and remain quiet). Next, visit the Forbidden City. Arrive before 9 AM to see the three main halls along the central axis before the tour groups arrive. Get an audio guide to better understand the history and stories of the palace. After exiting the Forbidden City, go to Jingshan Park. Enter through the side gate, and within 10 minutes of climbing the stairs, you'll reach Wanchun Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Day 3: Badaling Great Wall → Olympic Park In the morning, take subway Line 2 to Jishuitan Station, exit from Gate A or B, and walk to Deshengmen Bus Station. Take bus 877 directly to Badaling Great Wall (fare: 12 yuan). Once at the Great Wall, I recommend hiking up for the best experience of its magnificence, though cable cars are available if you get tired. Be sure to visit Haohan Slope for a photo op. Standing on the beacon tower and looking into the distance gives you an incredible sense of achievement. In the afternoon, return from the Great Wall and visit Olympic Park to see the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. During the day, you can admire their unique architectural designs, and at night when they're lit up, the red Bird's Nest and blue Water Cube create a beautiful contrast for photos. There are many food courts nearby where you can treat yourself to a nice meal. Day 4: Summer Palace → Old Summer Palace → Tsinghua and Peking Universities (photo stops) From your hotel, take subway Line 4 to Beigongmen Station and enter the Summer Palace through the North Palace Gate to avoid crowds. First, take a boat ride to the Stone Boat, enjoying the lake breeze and scenery along the way—it's incredibly relaxing. Then walk along the Long Corridor, where each painting has a story behind it. Listen to the audio guide while viewing them—it's fascinating. You can climb up to the Tower of Buddhist Incense for a panoramic view of the entire Summer Palace, but there are many stairs, so wear comfortable shoes. Exit from the East Gate of the Summer Palace, then take a taxi (about 15 yuan) to the Old Summer Palace. Enter through the East Gate, which is close to the Western Mansions ruins, and visit the Grand Waterworks ruins to experience the historical changes. Afterward, go to Tsinghua University's West Gate and Peking University's East Gate for photos. Although you can't enter the campuses, it's still nice to experience the atmosphere of these top universities from the gates. Day 5: Temple of Heaven Park → Return Home In the morning, visit the Temple of Heaven Park. Buy the 34-yuan combo ticket and enter from the South Gate. First, go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests—the morning light is perfect for photographing the red walls and blue tiles. Be sure to experience the Echo Wall too; standing at specific spots, you can actually hear echoes from the opposite side—it's magical. After touring the Temple of Heaven, enjoy a traditional Beijing hot pot meal nearby with freshly sliced lamb and sesame sauce—it's absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to your Beijing trip. After the meal, pack your bags and prepare for your return journey.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 After a profound experience in the Forbidden City in the morning, I came to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing in the afternoon, an ancient place with a thousand-year history. The Temple of Heaven is huge in scale, and when you walk in it you feel like you are in a holy place connected to the sky. The circular altar is surrounded by the huge blue sky, and the atmosphere is peaceful and solemn. The amazing circular platform for offering sacrifices to heaven and the admirable Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are truly touching. However, to my frustration, I discovered that my phone suddenly ran out of battery. At this moment, the beautiful scenery of the Temple of Heaven seemed to have interrupted my concentration due to the reminder from my mobile phone. Although I still want to continue wandering in this ancient sacrificial site, I know that I have to go back and find a power bank, otherwise the rest of the journey may become a "silent" journey. I turned hurriedly and walked across the wide lawn back to the hotel. On the way, the scenery of the Temple of Heaven is still imprinted in my mind. Those red walls and blue tiles look like a beautiful painting, swaying gently in the distance. After rushing back to the hotel, I finally found a power bank. After a short rest, I decided to continue exploring the city and look forward to the next destination. Although my stay at the Temple of Heaven was a bit rushed this time, this regret has become a part of my memory. I think that next time I come here, I will be in a different state of mind, and perhaps I will be able to appreciate this place where history and nature are intertwined more calmly.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Walking into the Temple of Heaven is like opening a door to another side of time and space in Beijing. This place is not only an ancient royal place for worshipping the gods, but also more like a secret forest gently wrapped by time. Large tracts of ancient cypress trees stand quietly, and each tree seems to have witnessed thousands of years of prayers and wind and rain. The air is filled with a quiet and heavy atmosphere. You can move freely between the blue bricks and gray tiles, and occasionally encounter old men practicing Tai Chi, grandfathers practicing singing softly, and tourists walking slowly under the corridor. They are not in a hurry because time seems to pass very slowly in the Temple of Heaven. The alternating distribution of circular and square architectural structures represents the ancient philosophy that the sky is round and the earth is square. Looking up at the blue-tiled and glazed Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds are reflected on the glazed tiles, like a dream. Standing on the Echo Wall and listening carefully to the transmission of sound, you will suddenly realize that the architecture here is not only solemn, but also hides the wisdom and awe of the ancients. The Temple of Heaven is not only a photo-taking spot, but also a spiritual journey. Whether you are a newcomer or revisiting an old place, it can always quietly embrace your complicated thoughts and allow you to make room for a peaceful corner in your heart.

The Temple of Heaven Park is one of the most representative royal gardens in Beijing. Coming here is like returning to the ancient Temple of Heaven for worshipping the gods. When you enter the park, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. Its blue glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, symbolizing the roundness of the earth and the squareness of the sky and the ancient people's awe of the heavens and the earth. Strolling around the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, you will find that it is surrounded by green trees and the environment is quiet and peaceful.

#TravelPlan Here as promised, a Beijing travel plan. Since Beijing has a lot of places to visit, each place is quite large and takes a long time to visit. This time, there may be some places that some people think why not go (this is the second time I've planned my trip). This time, I didn't make it too heavy. I focused on places that you can actually go to, so you don't have to rush to visit. I also left time for taking pictures. On the first day, I switched up my plan a bit (I didn't change it). Tiantan was changed to the morning, and the Forbidden City to the afternoon. Because Tiantan takes less time, we can spend time at the Forbidden City without rushing. The plan can be adjusted according to your convenience. I focus on being flexible and easy. 😆😆Beijing #beijing #travelchina #china

Hey guys, I just got back from five days in Beijing, and I have so much to share! Even though I did a lot of research beforehand, I still fell into some tourist traps. Today, I'm going to give you the lowdown, so listen up if you're planning a trip to Beijing! 👭 👀First, let's talk about the weather. The temperature in Beijing has recently been between 0 and 12°C. It's freezing in the morning and evening, with wind that feels like knives on your face, but then it gets hot enough to sweat during the day.😥 The temperature difference is really unbearable. ⭕The following attractions no longer require reservations: 1. Temple of Heaven (combined ticket 35 RMB) 2. Lama Temple (25 RMB) 3. Summer Palace (30 RMB) 4. Old Summer Palace (combined ticket 25 RMB) 5. Jingshan Park (2 RMB) 6. Prince Gong's Mansion (40 RMB) 7. Badaling Great Wall (40 RMB) ⭕Attractions that still require reservations: 1. Palace Museum (60 RMB) 2. National Museum of China (free) 3. Tiananmen Square (free) 4. Tiananmen Tower (15 RMB) 5. Chairman Mao Memorial Hall (free) 6. Great Hall of the People (free) 7. Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution (free) 8. Capital Museum (free) 9. National Museum of Natural History (free) 10. National Archaeological Museum of China (free) 11. Tsinghua University (free) Tips for Traveling in Beijing⚠️ ❗️Tip 1: The flag-raising ceremony time is not fixed; it's generally at sunrise. It is recommended to arrive 1–2 hours in advance. If you want a front-row spot, you need to line up at 3–4 am (there will be a lot of people). ❗️Tip 2: It's recommended to buy tickets for the Palace Museum in the morning, as there won't be enough time to visit in the afternoon. If you're short on time, it's recommended to visit the attractions along the central axis, which takes about 2–3 hours. ❗️Tip 3: Only flat, undamaged power banks with a capacity of no more than 20,000 mAh are allowed in the National Museum of China. ❗️Tip 4: The Badaling Great Wall section is crowded but scenic. You can take a bus or the high-speed train from Beijing North Railway Station. Mutianyu Great Wall is much less crowded, but it's farther from the city center. ❗️Tip 5: When visiting the Temple of Heaven, don't enter from the East Gate. It's recommended to enter from the South Gate and exit from the North Gate, so you can see all the most distinctive sights. ❗️Tip 6: It's not recommended to buy a combined ticket for the Summer Palace, as it's too big to cover in a day. It's recommended to visit the main attractions first, such as the Long Corridor, the Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and the Grand Theater. ❗️Tip 7: To visit the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Tower, and the Great Hall of the People, take the subway to Tiananmen West Station and exit from Exit B. This will save you a lot of walking. ❗️Tip 9: Niujie Street mainly offers halal snacks. I found the taste average, and locals generally don't go there. If you want to try authentic Beijing cuisine, I recommend Huguosi Street. I had a pretty good time during my five days in Beijing. I booked a semi-independent tour, which was perfect for me. Find what suits you best, and you'll have a great time.

I went to Beijing’s Temple of Heaven during a particularly cold evening, and the wind was biting. But even through the chill, the Temple of Heaven just radiated this incredible aura. It's hard to describe, but there's a weight to the place, a sense of history that just seeps into your bones. And yes, it's every bit as photogenic as you'd expect. The main altar, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a photographer's dream. But for me, it was more than just a pretty picture. Knowing that this place was built way back in the 18th year of Emperor Yongle, and that it was where Ming and Qing emperors came to offer sacrifices to the heavens… it just blew my mind. You're walking where emperors walked, standing in a space that held so much significance for centuries. But what really struck me was how the Temple of Heaven offered a glimpse into the concept of heaven worship that runs so deep in Chinese culture. It's not just about a building; it's about understanding the "Mandate of Heaven" and "Tianxia" – ideas that shaped Chinese history and society. It's a reminder that travel isn't just about seeing things, it's about understanding the stories and beliefs that shaped them. So, if you're heading to Beijing, don't just snap a quick picture and move on. Take your time, wander around, and let the Temple of Heaven work its magic. It's more than just an icon; it's a window into the heart of Chinese culture. #china #beijing

I came to Beijing for a trip with my elder sister this time. 🌽We booked this hotel. As soon as we step out of the hotel, we are on Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. It only takes 2 minutes to walk to Wangfujing Subway Station! And right beside it, we can visit Wangfujing Bookstore! This hotel is really high-end.🍐 🌶️Environment: The environment is very cozy. The only thing is that the bathroom is a bit narrow, but generally, people don't really mind that. The environment of the restaurant downstairs in the hotel is nice, and the food there tastes good too.🫐 🍅Service: When we entered the hotel, the staff helped us with our luggage. The receptionist ladies at the front desk and the cleaning aunties are all very kind. The security guard uncle at the entrance is also extremely enthusiastic. The mineral water and tea bags in the hotel are all free. Since we were in a hurry, we didn't book the breakfast.🥨 🥬Facilities: You need to swipe your card to enter the hotel, which makes me feel very safe. The rooms are all controlled by smart systems, which is really high-tech. There is also a very cute robot that can deliver takeout, which is really advanced.🍷 🍇Surroundings: It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Tiananmen Square from here, and it takes less than 10 minutes to get there by bike. There are many scenic spots nearby, such as the Forbidden City, the National Museum of China, Beihai Park, the Temple of Heaven Park, and so on.🍺

Review of the Temple of Heaven, built during the reign of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in 1420 AD, to perform the ceremony of worshipping the heavens and earth according to the ancient Chinese beliefs, asking for rain to fall according to the seasons, so that the crops will be abundant. It is 2.7 million square meters wide, 4 times larger than the Forbidden Palace. It is considered the most complete emperor's worship building in China and the largest worship building in the world✨ The entire building is made of wood, 3 stories high, standing on a white jade base, without using a single nail in the construction. It is roofed with tiles. Dark blue means heaven. Inside the building There are 4 large central pillars, which mean the 4 seasons. Outside the first floor, there are 12 pillars, which mean 12 months and another 12 ⭐️ on the outermost represent the 12 hours of the day. The ceiling is in the shape of 9 dragons. Inside the palace, there is a dragon throne, which in 1998 was recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage. For those who want to come and take pictures with few people like this, I recommend coming early in the morning, from the time the door opens at 8.00 a.m. I chose the east side because the distance to the Temple of Heaven is not very far. As soon as the door opens, hurry and run in first. Most people will be in front of the Temple of Heaven, where there is a blue Chinese sign on top. Walk to the opposite side, there will be fewer people, like in the picture. 📌Temple of Heaven ⏰Opening hours: Open daily 08:00-17:30 🚈Getting there: Get off at Tiantandongmen Station Exit A1 is near the entrance on the east side of the Temple of Heaven #ReviewChina #TravelBeijing #PlacesToVisitBeijing #TravelChina #Beijing #NewYearNewTrip

The Temple of Heaven Park is incredibly vast, so you need to be well-prepared before visiting ❤️❤️ The expected viewing time is from one to two hours, but when it's really crowded, it can take up to three hours!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ To avoid any inconvenience, I recommend you allocate plenty of time for your visit. This is one of my favorite places, and I highly recommend you visit it at least once. While you can book the entrance ticket in advance, it might be easier to buy it on-site.
