A classical imperial garden with Chinese temple style

"Ritan Park" is located in the heart of the embassy district in Chaoyang District, Beijing. "Ritan", also known as the Altar of the Sun, was built in the ninth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1530). It was originally a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped the god of the Great Ming—the sun, and is one of the five altars of Beijing. In 1955, it was turned into a park. The main attractions in the park include: the garden altar, the west and north celestial gates, the divine warehouse and kitchen, the animal sacrifice pavilion, the ceremonial attire hall, the sun worship mural, the southwest scenic area, the Qu Pool in Spring, the Yuxin Garden, the Peony Garden, the senior citizens' activity area, etc. The park also houses the "Martyr Ma Jun Memorial Room".
