Introduction to the Temple of Gods and Earth: The original site is located outside the south gate of the inner altar of Xiannong Altar, offering sacrifices to "Five Mountains, Five Towns, Five Mountains, Four Seas and Four Dus". Both altars are surrounded by bluestone lattice star gates and low walls. Nowadays, the altar of gods and stone niches no longer exist. Only the stone niches of the earth altar remain. In 2002, they were moved to the inner altar of Xiannong altar for preservation. There are five stone niches in the south and two on the east and west side of the courtyard, respectively dedicated to the gods of the Five Mountains and Five Towns, Wuling Mountain, the Four Seas and the Four Rivers, the famous mountains of Gyeonggi and the great rivers of the world, and the gods of the great mountains and great rivers of the world.
