The image shows a sign in front of the Imperial Vault of Heaven, located in the Temple of Heaven park in Beijing, China. The sign is mounted on a bronze pedestal and is made of metal. The sign is written in Chinese and English and provides information about the history of the building. The sign describes the Imperial Vault of Heaven as being built in the ninth year of Emperor Jiajing's reign (1530) in a round shape with a double-eaved roof. It was the main hall of the Vault of Heaven of the Circular Mound Altar, housing the Gods' tablets used at the ceremony of worshipping Heaven. It was renamed to Imperial Vault in the 17th year of Emperor Jiajing's reign (1538) and rebuilt into the present style in the 5th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1752). It is 19.5 meters wide, 15.6 meters long, and 15.6 meters tall with a height of 15 meters and a diameter of 15.6 meters. The hall is a finely-looking structure with a blue tile roof crowned with a gilded wooden arch and majestic dragon playing a caisson with a bluish-green colored ancient dragon. It has a ceiling with a centre design of a coiling gilded dragon with a pearl at the centre. It is indeed a masterpiece of ancient architecture in China. The image shows a part of the sign with the surrounding paved ground and a tree trunk on the left. The sign is supported by a metal pole mounted on a bronze base.
