►The millennium sacred land since the Spring and Autumn Period ▪The history of Chaotian Palace can be traced back to the era of Wu Wang Fuchai during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that he smelted iron and cast swords here, so this place was called Zhishan in ancient times. Later, emperors of all dynasties built temples and palaces here, and Chaotian Palace became a place for royal sacrifices and worship of heaven. ▪During the Sui Dynasty, Sui Wendi Yang Jian, in order to consolidate his rule over the Jiangnan region, built this Taoist temple for the worship of the gods of heaven and earth, marking the initial construction of Nanjing Chaotian Palace. During the Song Dynasty, Chaotian Palace was repaired and expanded, becoming an important place for royal sacrifices to heaven. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered the reconstruction of Chaotian Palace, expanding the scale of the temple. Nanjing Chaotian Palace became the main place for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven, and the architectural style and artistic decoration of the temple reached its peak. ►Tourist Highlights ▪Lingxing Gate, one of the iconic buildings of Chaotian Palace, a wooden archway-style gate, with yellow glazed tiles embedded on the top, five bays wide, the stairs here have a smooth ramp, and several generations of Nanjing people have played slide here in their childhood. ▪The Dacheng Hall houses the statue of Confucius and the plaques of the virtuous and good of all ages in Nanjing, and is one of the main buildings of Chaotian Palace. ▪The Chongsheng Temple is a place where the disciples of Confucius and the virtuous and good of all ages in Nanjing are worshipped, and the Imperial Stele Pavilion preserves the stone steles of the poems written by Emperor Qianlong when he visited Chaotian Palace five times. ▪In these ancient architectural complexes, you can also enjoy the blooming magnolia flowers and falling ginkgo leaves. The natural landscape and ancient buildings complement each other, creating a new height of beauty. ►Ticket: 25 yuan ►Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9 am-6 pm
