Temple of Heaven in China
In the south of the historic center of Beijing and the Temple of Heaven Park is - Tientan - oases of peace in the heart of uproar. Main Temple - Hall of prayer for a plentiful harvest - is known world wide since the '80s, when many Chinese products they had on the package: a red cone with three rows of roof (cone symbolizes the sky), climb on a square marble terrace (symbol of the Earth). Two other pieces accomplish all that the Son of Heaven and pray for forgiveness of sins harvests his subjects: the Round Altar, a marble disc in which all components are multiples of 9 (the number of divine perfection), and sky, a small temple that celebrate the winter solstice. This latter building is surrounded by a circular building - Echo Wall - who says he can send prayers gods mortals.
