Located in downtown Beijing, Ritan Park was once an imperial altar where the emperors of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties worshipped the god of the sun to pray for harmony and good harvests. Today, it's a peaceful blend of ancient history and city life. CGTN's Ioana Gomoi invites you to discover it with her.
