• Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest - Situated in the center of Beijing, this site has been the venue for 654 heavenly worship ceremonies conducted by 22 emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties. In contemporary times, it has hosted international events like the flame-lighting ceremonies for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and has welcomed notable personalities such as Kissinger and Stephen Hawking. From its beginnings as an imperial altar for solemn rites to its current status as a “global reception hall,” this architectural wonder connects China’s historical and modern eras.
• Imperial Vault Of Heaven - Echo Wall
  The Echo Wall surrounds the Imperial Vault of Heaven, with a circumference of 193 meters (633 feet). The wall’s flat and smooth surface allows sound waves to travel effortlessly. If you and a friend stand by the wall behind the East Annex Hall and the West Annex Hall respectively and whisper, your friend will clearly hear what you said. This phenomenon leverages the theory of sound waves, creating a “mysterious atmosphere.”

Three Echo Stone
Three Echo Stones refer to the three stones from north to south on the stone road outside the gate of the Imperial Vault of Heaven. If you speak facing the vault while standing on the first stone, you will hear one echo; standing on the second and then the third stone, you will hear two and three echoes respectively.

• Temple of Heaven - Heaven Heart Stone, also known as Sun Stone, is one of the most distinctive designs in the Temple of Heaven. It is a round stone at the center of the altar that is slightly elevated. If you stand on it and shout or knock, the sound waves will echo clearly. In ancient times, during the Worshipping Heaven Ceremony, the ritual officer would stand on the stone to read the oration, and the resonant sound seemed to reach the heavens.
