Image description

Construction on the Temple of Heaven began in 1406 during the reign of Emperor Yongle (r. 1402-1424) and took 14 years to complete. The complex contains three main buildings where the emperor, as the 'Son of Heaven', went during the winter solstice to offer prayers and sacrifices for a good harvest. The emperor spent the night before the ceremony fasting in the Hall of Abstinence.
