The Altar of the God of Agriculture, also referred to as the Xiannongtan Temple, is located in the southwestern part of Beijing’s old outer city, symmetrically aligned with the Temple of Heaven along Beijing Central Axis.
The Beijing Central Axis was added to the United Nations' cultural heritage list on July 27, 2024, signifying prestigious recognition for the 700-year-old line of historical and cultural landmarks traversing the heart of the Chinese capital. As the first anniversary of this inscription approaches, many tourists come to visit Xiannongtan Temple.
