Most Impressive Temple in Beijing

We arrived pretty early in the morn and were surprised about the many people who were already there. It's the Beijinger himself who's using the vast park around the temples to play games, exercise, chat and enjoy the day with friends and family. And they disperse in the park around the temples, so they're not

overcrowded. The whole site is pretty wide and the temples themselves were not as crowded as the Forbidden City or the Great Wall. We were there on a Tuesday and could easily take photos of the main temple without any person spoiling the picture (impossible on other sites in China). Another great place to escape the crowded city. One of the best and most impressive places in Beijing. Don't miss all the secrets of the building and use a guide, audio guide or read about it. It's pretty fantastic and amazing.

Traditional Chinese Street Xiushui Street's Morden Landscapes

Xiushui Street is close to the Friendship Shop and the embassy area. Here you can  enjoy shopping for a wealth of traditional Chinese knick knacks to bring home for your family.  If you don't have too much time for shopping in Beijing,

this could be the only place you need to visit.
Bargaining is essential here in order to get the best prices. Items which you can find in this market include:  shoes, jeans, trousers, jackets, shirts, Chinese souvenirs, Chinese rugs/carpets, golf equipment, pearls, watches, sunglasses, silk by the roll, Chinese paintings, small electronics and many other things.  It also has a small supermarket in the basement.  Prices are generally very reasonable here compared to your home country and if you are a skilled bargainer, you might be able to get things very cheap.
The Xiu Shui Street Mall is located along Chang An avenue near the Yong An Li line 1 subway station. You can now walk directly from the subway into the mall via an underground passageway without stepping outside into the scorching heat of summer or the terrible cold of winter.

Tomb of General Yuan Explore Fairy Tales

Tomb of General Yuan.Situated in Chongwen district, Beijing, the tomb of General Yuan is believed to be

haunted by his spirit at night. As a loyal supporter of the Ming Dynasty, the general tried everything in his power to protect the land of the imperial family. However, malicious lies were spread in the emperor’s ear, which cast doubt on his good intentions and finally led to his painful death from 1,000 cuts. Rumor has it that he vowed that his soul would always guard Liaodong Peninsula, before his execution. The people of Beijing were so angry about his supposed disloyalty that they ate his remains, leaving only his head, which was saved by one of his faithful soldiers and buried at Guanchu Men, where his family has held guard ever since. Some claim that his ghost wanders around this area at night to seek revenge or guard the land.
