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.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
