The Temple of Heaven is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) worshipped heaven and prayed for good harvests. It is an axial arrangement of the Circular Mound Altar to the south with the conic.ally roofed Imperial Vault of Heaven immediately to its north. This is linked by a raised sacred way to the circular, three tiered, conically roofed Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests further to the north.
