Temple of Heaven

                                   

The Temple of Heaven was first built in 1420 BC by the Ming Emperor Yongle. It was used by the Ming and Qing Emperors would pray for a good harvest.
The circular Temple of Heaven was constructed without a single metal nail.
The complex has many different temples and has a circular wall that is called the echo wall. If someone is at the west side and talks someone on the east side of the wall can hear what they say.

In Imperial times only the king could go 
down the middle of this walkway.
