The Ditan Park is located in the northern part of central Beijing and just outside of Beijing’s second ring road. It was built in 1530 during Ming Dynasty as a place where emperors of both the Ming and subsequent Qing dynasties could perform sacrifices to the gods for gods for good harvests, auspicious weather and a stable nation.
The altar in Ditan Park is square, which represents Earth. Nowadays, Ditan Park is a popular place offering morning exercise, a children’s play arcade, water calligraphy, food and other attractions. Since 1980s, traditional temple fairs have been held regularly during the Chinese lunar new year.
Apart from the altar, Ditan Park is a quiet place for a stroll among the Gingko Biloba trees, especially in autumn.
