The Temple of Heaven was constructed between 1406 and 1420 during the reign of Ming Emperor YongLe (reign: 1403-1424), who also oversaw the creation of the Forbidden City during the same period.
Bargain shopping in the Pearl Market

Hongqiao houses several floors and stalls selling the usual clothes, bags, shoes, binoculars, cameras, coral, electronics– and of course pearls.

Peking Duck dinner at a local restaurant
Peking Duck is originally from Beijing, which is the capital of Mainland China. It is prepared with a kind of fruit tree, so it has a fruity flavor. Its skin is very crispy. You also eat it in a very special way. First you need to use a special bread. Then you can start your tasty meal. Usually, you cannot finish a whole Peking Duck, so you can make soup with the leftovers.
Most Chinese people are very fond of Peking Roast Duck. You can go to a Chinese restaurant to order this dish rather than prepare it at home because it takes some time to cook it, and you need a lot of things to prepare it.

The duck is divided into three parts and made in three different ways. The first way is the most popular. The meat is selected from the best part of the duck and is boned. Green onions and dressing are added to make it savory and a little sweet. It is served with thin crepes. You just spread the dressing on the crepe, add some green onions, and roll it up.
The second way is to use the part of the duck with less meat. It can be fried with garlic, chilies, ginger or onions. A third way allows you to make use of the entire duck. You can make soup with cabbage and the duck meat with bones.

The Amazing Kong fu show after the Peking duck dinner is a great option to end the perfect evening in Beijing.The show time is between 7:30pm to 8:40pm.In the show you will learn the stores of Chunyi, A boy went to the temple and learnt his Kong fu finally got this Success,it is an interesting show mixed the Chinese Kong Fu, Dancing, history with beautiful stage setting.
