The first stop today was Temple of Heaven. This is where the Emperors visit for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest.
At the park next to the Temple of Heaven, there were many old folks gathering with their friends playing games like chess, card games etc.
After which, we went to the Tea shop 北京金茎贡茶院, where there was a talk on the different type of teas and their advantages.
After which, we went for a Trishaw Ride at Old Beijing Hutong
We took Trishaw No 28 and he is very good, in the sense that he told us a lot of history regarding Old Beijing.
Lunch at a Princess house
At the end of the Trishaw Ride, we then went to Olympic Bird Nest and Water Cube
After which, we went to a Jewellery shop 龙脉名石.
The tour guide refunded us the money so that we have more time for shopping at Silk Street (秀水街).
However, there was a huge jam there and we ended up having enough time to do either shopping or eating.
Hence, we chose EATING.
