The tower you see in the distance is the Temple of Heaven. It was being worked on, so we couldn't access it. This long runway is the path the Emperor would take during the Winter Solstice as part of the ceremony to ensure good harvests and luck. Ordinary folks in the city had to be silent during all this, so as to avoid cursing the proceedings.
