This photo captures the stone arches at the Altar of Heaven, located in the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, China. The structures are intricately carved and framed by traditional stone railings, typical of historic Chinese architecture. People are seen walking around the area, giving a sense of scale to the monumental structures.

The Temple of Heaven is an iconic symbol of imperial China, where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties would perform annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for a good harvest. The complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and renowned for its architectural beauty and historical significance.

Visible text on the back of the photograph includes: “Arches fringing Alter of Heaven, 'Peking' – S. F. Linström.” Present in this photo: none.
