Ritan Park – the Temple of Sun – is one of the four royal shrines, and is the altar of the Sun. Built in 1530 it was used by Ming and Qing Emperors to make sacrifices to the gods. But now Ritan is one of Beijing’s more peaceful parks.

  • 日壇公園有明朝日壇，位於北京朝陽門外東南，是明清兩代帝王祭祀大明之神"太陽"的處所。1951年北京市人民政府決定將日壇擴建，開闢為公園。
