·The Imperial Qiong Yu was built in the ninth year of Jiajing (530) in the Ming Dynasty. It is a place where the Circular Mound Altar is used to worship the gods and where the sacrificial tablets are stored.
·There are no beams in the hall, and the roof is supported entirely by 8 eaves columns, 8 golden columns and numerous brackets. The three-story ceiling caisson is retracted layer by layer, which is rare among ancient buildings.
·The Imperial Vault looks like a giant sapphire umbrella with a golden dome from a distance. There are two side halls on the left and right. Outside the main hall are the famous echo wall, three-tone stone and dialogue stone.
·The Three-tone Stone is located on the corridor in front of the Imperial Vault Palace. If you stand there and clap your hands at the Three-tone Stone, you can hear three echoes. This phenomenon is called “the whispers of the world are heard by the sky like thunder.”
