The Altar of Prayer for Good Harvests is located in the northern part of the Temple of Heaven Park, where in ancient times the emperors held worship ceremonies to pray for good weather and abundant harvests.

It consists of two main buildings, namely the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Imperial Hall of Heaven; and several subsidiary buildings including the Long Corridor, the Dressing Terrace, the Danbi Bridge, the Divine Kitchen, the Butcher Pavilion, the Seven Star Stone, etc.

Spring Festival in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing 2009
Mass of people visiting the Temple of Heaven every year during the Spring Festival. This temple was the usual place for the emperor to praying at this season of the year. Unfortunately you can catch in the scenery the huge merchandising attitude which is (not) a new aspect to see a temple in a holiday season.
Lunar New Year celebrations in China
(5 Feb 2019) LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS IN CHINA
Thousands of Beijing residents and travellers flocked to temples across the city to mark the first day of the year of the pig with prayers and festivities.
As the sun rose on the Temple of Earth park, performers donned robes and strummed Chinese zithers for a reenactment of a Qing-dynasty era sacrificial ceremony to the God of the Earth.
A man acting as the emperor bowed before an alter, as dozens stood guard in ceremonial dress behind him. Dozens of other performances wowed visitors around the park, including drumming and acrobatics.
Stalls sold specialty snacks from around the country, including steamed dumplings, roast sausages, and warm pear juice.
Also on sale: noisemakers, trinkets, and toys branded with the British cartoon Peppa Pig, which is enjoying a resurgence in popularity as Chinese greet the Year of the Pig.
Meanwhile, the devout and faithful crowded nearby Lama Temple as they burned the first joss sticks of the year for good fortune.
But for the majority of Chinese nationals, the Lunar New Year is a time for family gatherings and multigenerational banquets in people's hometowns.
Streets in the nation's capital empty out while shops, companies and government offices close for the week.
China's railway ministry forecast mainland travellers would make 413 million trips during the three-week period around the holiday.

Live: Pray for the New Year at the Lama Temple大年初一雍和宫上香
Feb. 16 marks the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year. After a boisterous night of fireworks, the Spring Festival is now entering a more spiritual stage. People believe burning incense and praying on the first day of the New Year will make their wishes more readily heard by the Buddha. And particularly, if they can successfully grab the spot to be the first one in the temple to burn the incense, their wishes are most likely to come true. So, some of them even stay overnight to wait in the chilly weather for hours. Join CGTN to see how Chinese people embrace the New Year!
Worshippers fill temples on the first day of Chinese lunar new year
People across China celebrate the first day of the Lunar New Year by heading out to temples across China by the thousands to light incense and pray. CCTV’s Grace Brown visited one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Beijing to see it in person.

STORYLINE:
On Tuesday, China celebrates the start of the Lunar New Year.
It is the biggest celebration for ethnic-Chinese - who make up about one-fifth of the world's population.
With only two days to go - preparations are already underway.
0003 People gathered at the Chinese capital's oldest - and most famous - temple for the country's spring festival.
0009 The Ditan Park Temple is open for a week of festivities - in the run-up to Chinese New Year.
0016 UPSOUND
0018 This is 'Year of the Horse' - one of 12-symbols in the Chinese horoscope.
0023 It's traditionally hailed as a year that brings economic good fortune.
0028 And those attending the festivities have high hopes for the coming year.
0033 This man says he wants China to grow economically stronger this year.
0039 The temple fair originated from religious celebrations at Taoist temples around China - where pilgrims would go to pray.
0046 These gatherings eventually gave birth to the Temple fair that exists today.
0051 When the atheist Communist Party took power in China in 1949 - they branded traditional beliefs as superstitious.
0058 And for many years, traditional celebrations were frowned upon.
0102 But in the last couple of decades - as China embraced market reforms - many have turned back to religious festivals.
0111 Today, people go to the ceremonies with their family and friends to feast, shop and be entertained.
0118 The Year of the Horse starts on Tuesday.

Beijing - Lama Temple Cinematic
A little slow paced, but as a place of worship and meditation, it felt only right to create this piece this way. The Lama Temple is one of the few preserved Tibetan Temples left in Beijing. While visiting here during Moon Festival, I was able to witness a traditional prayer ceremony and capture a monk beautifully lit, amongst the smoke of burning incense.
