It is on Ritan Road North in Chaoyang District, about 10 km (6.2 miles) from the center of the city. It is one of the five famous altars in Beijing built in 1530, which was the venue where the emperor offered sacrifice to the sun during Ming (1368-1644) and Qing dynasties (1644-1911). Ancient buildings in it were devastated before 1949. In 1951, the local government began the reconstruction of the relics in it; and in 1956, it was open to public with an extended area of 206,200 sq meters (246,613 sq yards). In recent years, new scenic areas are accessible to the visitors. An amusement park has been built for children; anglers can have a great time in the fishing zone; music festivals, the flower shows in the spring, the adoption and caring for the ancient trees and other various activities attract lots of people.
