From the Getty Museum record

View of the Temple of Heaven complex, as seen from the Circular Mound Altar. The Altar's ornately carved guardrails can be seen in the foreground. This view looks toward the Imperial Vault of Heaven, a single-gabled circular building visible in the mid-ground. Seen in the background is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, a triple-gabled circular building.
