Di Tan Park or Park of the Temple of Earth is a park on the northern part of Beijing. Di Tan, or Temple of Earth, is one of the five venues in Beijing where the Ming emperors instituted imperial sacrifices.
The most famous venue for imperial sacrifices is the Temple of Heaven, on the south of Beijing. The other temples are located at the city's cardinal points: the Temple of Earth to the north, the Temple of the Sun (Ri Tan) to the east, the Temple of the Moon (Yue Tan) to the west, and the Temple of Land and Grain (Sheji Tan) at the centre.
Di Tan Park is a venue for temple fairs which take place during the Chinese New Year celebrations every year. The fair commemorates ancient rites performed at Di Tan Park to welcome in spring and appease the gods.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
