Park layout

The main building of the park, the social altar, is located in the center of the central axis. The altar is square, a three-story platform made of white marble. The altar is covered with five colors of earth from all over the country: middle yellow, east green, south red, west white and north black, which means "the earth is not king" and symbolizes the five elements of earth, wood, fire, gold and water.

There is a square stone pillar in the center of the altar, which is called "the main stone of the country", also known as "the stone of the mountains and rivers" to show that "the mountains and rivers are forever solid". There are four glazed walls around the altar, blue in the east, red in the south, white in the west and black in the north, and there are white marble star gates on all sides, which is particularly solemn. The "worship hall" in the north of the altar, also known as the pleasure hall or sacrifice hall, is a magnificent wooden structure.
