Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven (in Chinese: 天壇; Pinyin: Tiāntán) is a famous temple in Beijing, built in the 15th century. It consists of several buildings, the most well known of which is the Hall of Good Harvest, a round, wooden building. The Temple appears in Mario is Missing! as one of three landmarks Luigi has to visit in Beijing. It is closed because Koopas stole the Hall of Good Harvest and will not reopen before Luigi returns them, for which he is rewarded $1610. The Hall is known for being the place where the Emperor of China slept once a year, to pray and feast.

Pamphlet Information from Mario is Missing!
''Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven, is China's most famous temple. It consists of several buildings, built around the 15th century, all set inside a walled park. The Hall of Good Harvest, the most well known of the park's buildings, is set on top of a triple tier of marble terraces. Each carved terrace has its own balcony. The 37.4 meters high structure is amazing because it was built without one single nail. The Emperor of China would spend one evening a year in the Temple, fasting and praying, to assure a good harvest.''
