Q: Do I need to buy tickets for the Temple of Heaven in advance?

Yes, it’s generally a good idea to buy tickets for the Temple of Heaven in advance. You can book through the temple’s booking system, which uses WeChat Pay, a process some report as confusing. Or, buy tickets online from third-party travel companies using your credit card.

Q: How long do I need for the Temple of Heaven?

The Temple of Heaven is a vast site, spanning 675 acres (273 hectares) and home to more than 90 buildings with 600 rooms. So you could easily spend a full day exploring, but most people manage to soak up the park's atmosphere and visit the star attractions in several hours.

Q: Where is the Temple of Heaven, and how do I get there?

The Temple of Heaven is in central Beijing, about 2 miles (3 kilometers) south of Tiananmen Square. Catch the metro to Tiantan Dongmen (line 5) on the east side and take exit A, or ride to Tianqiao (line 8) on the west side and take exit C. Both require walking.

What are people saying about Temple of Heaven (Tiantan)

Temple of Heaven Ticket Booking

manuel_f, Apr 2026

The Power of the American Passport

It was a strange situation: even though we couldn't obtain the QR codes required for entry—and despite the fact that no one at Viator seemed to consider that internet access is an issue in China—we simply walked up to the entrance, and upon seeing our American passports, they let us right in. I immediately realized that we had paid for tickets we didn't actually need. Once inside, we thoroughly enjoyed all the wonders found there.

Top Zhangjiajie Mini Group Tour: Glass Bridge & Tianmen Mountain

VitorAugusto_O, Apr 2026

Amazing experience guided by Zoe

We had an amazing day visiting the glass bridge and mount Tianmen - both sites are amazing and are definitely worth the visit. We were guided by Zoe, who turned out to be one of the most amazing persons we met on this trip. Zoe made everything more special, from explaining the features of the attractions to highlighting the main aspects of the Chinese culture. If you are coming to Zhangjiajie, having Zoe as the guide is definitely a game changer!

This was a great private...

This was a great private tour! Sherry was very kind and helpful. We started with the pandas which were absolutely adorable, but the Summer Palace was the highlight of the day. Sherry was flexible throughout the day and offered different options and ideas, accommodating for my interests and random whims.
