Danbi
Bridge is actually the main road in the Temple
of Heaven between the Hall of Prayer for Good
Harvest and Imperial Vault of Heaven. It is 360
meters long and 29.4 meters wide. A tunnel passes
through under the path, so it is called a bridge.
The southern end of the road is one meter above
the ground and the northern end of it is four
meters above the ground. The rise meant to "step
upward toward heaven". The central path was
reserved for divine gods, the path on the left
was reserved for the emperor and the path on the
right was used by court officials.
