·The Zhai Palace is located inside the west gate of the Temple of Heaven. It is a shelter from wind and rain for the guards. The top of the Zhai Palace is covered with blue glazed tiles, which means that they dare not show respect before the sky.
·The main hall of the Zhai Palace is a beam-less brick arch structure, so it is also called the “Beamless Hall”. The red walls and green tiles indicate that the emperor did not dare to be arrogant here, but could only bow to heaven.
·Behind the main hall are five bedrooms, where the emperor fasted before offering sacrifices. There are also auxiliary buildings such as tea and fruit bureaus and dining rooms.
·In spring, several tall magnolia trees in the courtyard are covered with pure white and blooming flowers. The flowering period is from mid-to-late March to mid-to-early April.
