It is a three-story circular hall with a blue glazed tile roof and a golden dome, symbolizing the round sky and the square earth. 🌟Circular Mound Altar: It is the place where the emperor worshipped heaven on the winter solstice. In the center of the altar, there is a round stone slab called the "Heavenly Heart Stone", which is the place where the emperor stood when worshipping heaven. 🌟Echo Wall: It is a circular wall with a wonderful acoustic effect. Two people stand behind the east and west side halls, leaning against the wall. One person speaks to the north against the wall, and the sound waves will refract continuously along the wall and reach the other end of one or two hundred meters. No matter how small the voice is, the other party can hear it clearly, and the voice is long, which is quite interesting. 🌟Imperial Vault of Heaven: It is the place where the gods of the Circular Mound Altar are worshipped. Its architectural style is unique and the interior decoration is exquisite. 🌟Fasting Palace: It is the place where the emperor fasted before the ceremony of worshipping heaven.
