Depart your hotel
Pass by the Ming Dynasty Wall Relics Park
Your exploration begins with a visit to the stunning Temple of Heaven visited by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven
The Temple of Heaven is one of several worship sites in the capital where the emperors offered sacrifices. Its location in the city derives from the notion that yang,the mal vital principle,is located n the south;and as Heaven is yang,it should be worshipped in the southern suburbs of the capital.
The Temple of Heaven was constructed between 1406 and 1420 during the reign of Ming Emperor YongLe (reign: 1403-1424), who also oversaw the creation of the Forbidden City during the same period.
Bargain shopping in the Pearl Market
Hongqiao houses several floors and stalls selling the usual clothes, bags, shoes, binoculars, cameras, coral, electronics– and of course pearls. Most of the pearls for sale on the third floor are low quality. Look out for the really high quality ones (and good views of the Temple of Heaven) on the market’s fourth floors
