The Temple of Heaven is a historic site
located in Beijing, China, at which the emperor used to conduct
religious ceremonies. Its grounds cover approximately 2,730,000 square
meters, and in the center of them stands a structure used to call for
abundant crops, known as the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The hall
is really an altar, and is bigger than any other altar in current
existence in China. It has a diameter of 32 m and is 38 m high. The
wooden pillars feature brightly colored carvings of phoenixes and
dragons, the entire structure features gold plating, and the
three-tiered roof is tiled in lapis lazuli, its blue color representing
the heavens. In 1998 the Temple of Heaven's preciousness was officially
recognized with its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This paper
craft is based on the Temple of Heaven's Hall of Prayer for Good
Harvests.
