The Temple of Heaven (天壇), Beijing
View Larger Map
The Temple of Heaven, literally the Altar of Heaven (traditional Chinese: 天壇; simplified Chinese: 天坛; pinyin: Tiāntán; Manchu: Abkai mukdehun) is a complex of Taoist buildings situated in southeastern urban Beijing, in Xuanwu District. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest. It is regarded as a Taoist temple, although Chinese Heaven worship, especially by the reigning monarch of the day, pre-dates Taoism.

Green is a code of spring. Now if you want to enjoy a warm spring, choose the green sleeveless Cheongsam. It is made of green silk brocade with big blooming peony patterns. In Chinese culture, peony is the queen of flowers, so it is the symbol of wealth and high position. Only the woman of noble family is entitled to be in Cheongsam with peony patters. V-neck collar decorated with two hand-made frog buttons is different from the traditional mandarin collar. Frog button is a kind of traditional handicraft and it needs a lot of labor. Both sides are made with slits toward the thigh and the length of the Cheongsam is to ankle. An invisible zipper is on the right side, so it is easy for you to wear. Be creative with accessories. (handbag, bracelet, etc) On a sunny afternoon, having a cup of tea in the front porch or the backyard in your house, you will spend a pleasant time with your family.
