Platycladus orientalis is one of the most widely used landscaping trees in China. It has been planted in temples, tombs and gardens since ancient times. For example, in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, a large area of Platycladus orientalis and Sabina vulgaris is in sharp contrast with the royal vault, the white marble railing of the Hall of Prayer for the New Year and the blue masonry road, which fully highlights the main building and clearly expresses the theme. A large area of Platycladus orientalis creates a quiet atmosphere, while the Hall of Prayer for the New Year, the Royal Dome and the Overpass echo each other in architectural form and color, cleverly expressing the theme of "the earth is connected with the sky".
