Start your morning with a visit to the Temple of Heaven, where you can see the splendid architectures and local people's morning exercise. A rickshaw ride through Hutong Alleys are followed to trace the life of old Beijing people. Then visit a beautiful old temple in the centre of Beijing - Lama Temple. At last, explore the Summer Palace, where one can enjoy natural beauty and the grandeur of ancient royal garden.
