Then move on to Confucian Temple ( Kongmiao ), one of the most important Confucian temples, just after the one in his hometown of Qufu in Shandong Province. The confucius temple was built to pay tribute to confucius in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It was first built in 1309 with a history of more than 600 years.

After Chinese lunch, head to to Shichahai area behind Beihai Park for Hutong tour. First take rickshaw going around the deep Hutong in Shichahai area, visiting an ordinary family in a courtyard. Then ascend the drum tower and have a bird's eye view of the old Beijing - Shichahai area.



Finally walk from Drumm Tower to Nanluoguxiang, a lane or hutong with a history of over 700 years dating back to Yuan Dyansty in 13th and 14th century. Running from north to south, this lane is about 800 meters long with 16 hutongs - 8 hutongs on each side of the lane. The lane is now famous for the cafes and bars and clothing and handcraft shops that line its hutong laneways as well as its traditional hutong and courtyards (siheyuan).
