Tour description
If you see the banner showing"Cancellation risk" that's because some tourists book the tour and don't show up. That's why I cancelled his or her booking. But I don't cancel the tour. I do the tour everyday welcome you to join the tour.
Kindly Reminder before book the tour:
The Temple of Heaven is very crowded during the busy season. We start the tour a little bit earlier in order to avoid the crowds and skip the long lines for ticket checks and security checks.
Free tours don't have a set price, each person tips the guide at the end of the tour. Based on the cost of living in Beijing the recommended tip for this tour is 150-200 Chinese yuan per person or 20-30 USD per person.

The Temple of Heaven Park, Tiantan in Chinese, is located in the Dongcheng District, Beijing. It is the largest and most representative existing masterpiece among China's ancient sacrificial buildings.
Originally, the Temple of Heaven was the place where emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) held the Heaven Worship Ceremony. First built in 1420, the 18th year of the reign of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), the Temple of Heaven was enlarged and rebuilt during the reigns of the Ming emperor Jiajing and the Qing emperor Qianlong.
In 1988, it was opened to the public as a park, showing ancient philosophy, history and religion. Its grand architectural style and profound cultural connotation give an insight into the practices of the ancient Eastern civilization.
