I wish Salam to everyone,
Last day of our vacation in Beijing.
TEMPLE OF HEAVEN
From the hotel we took the subway and got off at Tiantan Station.
We entered the temple of the Heaven through East gate. We bought "Through tickets" (联票 Lián piào) that enabled us to go to all venues within Temple of Heaven Park include Divine Music Administration, Hall of Abstinence, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, the Circular Mound Altar, and the Echo Wall: low season 30 yuan/person.
KAO ROU JI RESTAURANT
We took the subway and got off at Shichahai Subway Station. Continued walking west direction towards Shichahai.
We had a proper lunch in Beijing Kaorouji Restaurant located at Qianhai Dongyan Street.
Someone recommended a dish called Kung Pao Chicken (腰果鸡丁). This dish is actually sautéed diced chicken and cashew nuts. We had this dish with rice.
SHICHAHAI
Shichahai consists of three lakes Qianhai , Xihai and Houhai that are interconnected and the location is in central Beijing. Yinding Bridge is located at Houhai quite close to Shichahai Subway Station. The scenery around here was magnificent and well worth a visit if you’re touring this part of Beijing.

BELL & DRUM TOWERS
We toured Bell & Drum Towers but not able to enter since they were under renovation. We took pictures of ourselves in front of these buildings.

We took the Subway Line 8 at Shichahai Subway Station to Gulaodajie, switched to Line 2 at Gulaodajie and further switched to Line 1 at Jianguomen and got off at Wangfujing Station and use exit B.
WANGFUJING
Wangfujing Oriental Plaza was a blend of shopping malls with high end retail for branded products.

WANGFUJING SNACK STREET
Beijing Wangfujing Snack Street (北京王府井小吃街) was something like Petaling Street back in KL, outdoor market, where antiques, used household goods and souvenirs were sold. The most interesting here, they also sold exotic food such as snakes, scorpions etc. But not sure whether here we could get a bowl of Yong Tau Foo (Nyiong Tiu Fu 客家酿豆腐), one of Chinese Hakka dishes made of stuffed bean curd.
We headed back to Xiushui Jie Shopping Centre to do some more shopping.
Then we went back to hotel to check-out.
From hotel we boarded Line 2 Subway and change to Line 6 at Chaoyangmen. Subway Line 6 to get to Dongsi Station and continued to Dongsi Mosque on foot.
DONGSI MOSQUE
There was nothing to hurry about since Beijing Airport MAS counter only open at 10.30 p.m. for check-in. Stayed in the mosque since we still have a lot of time.
BEIJING CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
We boarded the Beijing Subway Airport Express to reach Beijing Airport. We had coffee in a QīngZhēn restaurant located within Terminal 3. The Muslims prayer room was located in the international departures lounge in Beijing Airport Terminal 3.
After checked-in we proceeded to departure gate. At nearly 12 midnight the perfume shop still has a lot of shoppers since according to my wife the price of branded perfumes were something like 10% cheaper here.
2 o’clock in the morning we boarded the airplane back to KLIA and goodbye Beijing. Really had a wonderful time and wish to come again to Beijing soon, perhaps next year.
-End-
