Four

There are four temples in Beijing, dedicated to four nature's entities: Earth, Sky, Sun, Moon.
Chinese names are Ditan, Ritan, Tiantan, Yuetan.
They are positioned as cardinal points: north, south, east, west (in relation to the old city center - the forbidden city), inside the orthogonal city grid.

Simple, schematic, a little childish. Like an RPG game.


Temple of the Earth, Ditan Park. Today is just a squared empty space in the midde of a park, quiet and beautiful. Edge of paved area 130 mt.
