Must-See Beijing|9 Amazing Spots to Enjoy the Temple of Heaven without the Crowds

【Must-See Beijing|9 Amazing Spots to Enjoy the Temple of Heaven without the Crowds📸】 📍Your ultimate guide to the Temple of Heaven! Red walls and blue tiles, layer upon layer of prayer halls A stunning world that has weathered six centuries of wind and rain This blend of ancient and modern romance can only be understood through a personal visit! ⏰Quick Route: East Gate➡️Seven Star Stones➡️Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests➡️Imperial Vault of Heaven➡️Echo Wall➡️Circular Mound Altar➡️South Gate (2.5h total, buy a combined ticket for core attractions if you're up for a brisk walk) 📸Photo Ops Alert (with exclusive spots): 1️⃣West side gate of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests! Shoot upwards to avoid the crowds 2️⃣Steps at the north gate of the Imperial Vault of Heaven: Wait 3 minutes for a clear shot 3️⃣Corner of the west annex hall's red window: Stunning light and shadow play 4️⃣Frame the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests with the ancient doorway: Capture a sense of dialogue between past and present 5️⃣Use the North Heaven Gate arch as a frame: Create a time-traveling effect 6️⃣Zhaigong's white jade railings + ginkgo trees: Perfect autumn vibes (Wear a white/light blue dress for a more striking traditional Chinese look) 🎫Ticket Guide: Peak season combined ticket: CNY 34 (April-October) Remember to book in advance on "Chang You Gong Yuan" Lit up every Friday and Saturday! Night owls, be there at 6pm 🍦Hidden Gems: ·Get a limited-edition bookmark at Tiantan Fuyin ·Collect stamps at the east annex hall of the Echo Wall (6 free stamps) ·Buy a light-up Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests lollipop at the gift shop ·Try douzhi'er and jiaoquan at the west gate (for the brave) ⚠️Lessons Learned: 1. Don't buy the CNY 10 audio guide! The official CNY 15 scannable guide is more professional 2. Best lighting after 4pm, but ticket sales stop at 5pm 3. Bring your ID! You'll need it at every attraction 4. Bring plenty of water! Vending machines often run out 🌇As the gilded dome catches the twilight hues Watch birds fly past the triple-tiered blue tiles On the sacred path where emperors performed rituals Share this moment with the moon from six centuries ago
