Temple of Heaven (天坛)

In order to create a sense of grandiosity and superiority among the people, ancient emperors created alot of mythical stories to deify themselves. During the Qing's Dynasty, a Temple of Heaven was built for emperors to "communicate" with God and to pray for God's blessing so that the following year will be free of calamities. The Temple was now enclosed with gardens for civilians to see and feel the ancient Royal style~
