The Qingcheng Palace complex, a royal sacrificial site located in the Temple of Agriculture along the historic Central Axis of Beijing, reopened to the public on Saturday after restoration work, attracting many visitors to admire the ancient architecture and a series of exhibitions held at the historic site. Built in the 15th century, the Temple of Agriculture, also known as Xiannongtan Temple, was used by Ming and Qing emperors to offer sacrifices to the god of agriculture and pray for a good harvest.
