A symmetrical composition is used, with the golden door studs and lion-head door knockers evenly distributed on either side. The vertical crack in the middle of the door divides the image, enhancing the sense of solemnity. The composition includes the blue plaque "Prayer Hall for Good Harvest" in the crack and distant buildings, adding depth to the scene.

Students, seniors over 60, children under 1.2 meters, military personnel, and people with disabilities can enjoy half-price or free admission. ② Opening Hours: The Temple of Heaven is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with internal attractions open from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
