South of Tian’an

Men Square

The Qian Men (Front Gate) at the southern end of Tian’an Men Square
was once part of the inner walls that divided the imperial quarters
from the “Chinese city,” where the massed populace lived. Walking
south from the gate you are plunged into a network of lively hutongs
(alleys), the remnants of the old quarter. Continuing south down
Qian Men Dajie brings you to the western perimeter of the grounds
of the Temple of Heaven, one of Beijing’s most evocative sights.

Dating from AD 696, this is likely the
oldest temple in Beijing. Near the
gate, the incense burner is flanked by
the Drum and Bell Towers. Beyond,
the Hall of the Heavenly Kings is
guarded by a pair of bronze lions. A
Incense burner at Fayuan Temple hall contains a large statue of Buddha.
