The Temple of Heaven photo copyrighted by: BeijingChinaWorld The Temple of Heaven is a very large park, more than twice the size of the
Forbidden City. As this was to be the space representing Heaven on Earth, symbolically it needed to be bigger than the Forbidden City. It is about 2 kilometers from north to south. The inner walled area that houses the main structures covers 275 Hectares (2.75 million square meters). Indeed, it is the largest group of constructions for worship in the world.
