3rd day in Beijing

The 1st stop we went was 天坛.

As usual,everywhere we went, the place was filled with lots of people.

cuishan's learning how to play with... something-i'm not sure what it's called

Then,the tourguide brought us to a porcelian shop called 景泰蓝.

we took glimpses of how they make those intricate porcelain products

however,we were not interested in buying anything there,it was so boring lah!

it reads "Vaes mouth polish",haha..some funny chinglish

Our 3rd stop was to the Summer Palace 颐和园

we squatted to take a rest,i think it's a bit unglam,but we're in china,so who cares?

Our lunch was a disaster cause we were cheated into eating fake Beijing roast duck. So we protested and for dinner our tourguide brought us to this restaurant which is well-known for its famous Beijing roast duck.
