The Temple of Earth in Beijing, built in 1530 during the Ming dynasty, stands as the second largest of the five Temples of Beijing at 42.7 hectares. Located in the northern part of central Beijing near the Andingmen area, just outside the second ring road and a few hundred yards north of Yonghe Temple, this Chinese architectural structure served as the site of annual summer solstice rituals where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties made offerings to heaven. Its counterpart, the Temple of Heaven, lies opposite it at the southern end of the old city. The temple has been designated a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level.
