Tiantan Park, an inner city temple for birds

Updated 2020.05.15 14:04 GMT+8

Tiantan Park, also known as Temple of Heaven, was where the emperors of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing dynasties worshiped Heaven and prayed for good harvests. The park has also become one of the most popular places in the city for various species of birds, given the ancient trees and well-planned green area, offering a safe habitat.
