Ditan Park


The Temple of the Earth (also referred to as the Ditan Park) in Beijing, is located in the northern part of central Beijing, around the Andingmen area and just outside of Beijing's second ring road. It was built in 1530 during the Ming dynasty. Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasty dynasties would attend the annual summer solstice ritual of offerings to the heaven. At 42.7 hectares, it is the second largest of the four Temples of Beijing behind only the Temple of Heaven.
