Decoding Beijing: Unusual Agricultural City Walk Along Central Axis!

At the 46th session of the World Heritage Committee in New Delhi, India, it was announced that "Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital" has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The 7.8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis serves as the soul and backbone of old Beijing. Located on the western side of the southern end of this axis, directly across from the Temple of Heaven, lies the Altar of Agriculture—a sacred site where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties performed ceremonies to honor the God of Agriculture and held plowing rituals to pay tribute to China's rich agricultural traditions.

What fascinating farming stories have unfolded on this sacred land? What secrets have been uncovered through the restoration of the Sacred Warehouse complex? Today, join Thai blogger Zhang Ailing (โอ้โหBeijing - สารพัดเรื่องในปักกิ่ง) and Zhang Min, a researcher from the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum, on a special agricultural-themed city walk. Together, we will explore the profound traditional Chinese farming culture and the industrious wisdom of the Chinese people.
