Beijing 4K Walk: The Temple of Heaven – China’s Gateway to the Divine [1:53:05]

Sharing my latest walking video in Beijing. This time, we’re at the Temple of Heaven, where Chinese emperors performed rituals that determined the fate of an empire. Built in 1420, this massive UNESCO World Heritage complex is where emperors would pray and speak to the heavens for good harvests and good fortune. Over 600 acres, the Temple of Heaven Park is nearly 4x larger than the Forbidden City and in this nearly 2-hour walk, we cover all the major attractions including the iconic Hall of Prayer, to a mysterious wall with impossible acoustics, to the altar that was considered to be the exact center of universe. As always, turn on CC for historical context and commentary, or leave it off for the immersion!
