In 1421 the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing and the observatory was built along the city wall the following year. This observatory is the only surviving example of several constructed during the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It is located on a 15m-high brick platform of about 40 × 40m2 that is one of the few surviving portions of the old Ming Dynasty-era city wall that once encircled Beijing.
