Shaoyaoju Station
Yuanmingyuan is a garden which was built in 1707 during the reign of Qing Dynasty.
The garden is famous for destruction during several wars such as Second Opium War.
It was so big that I couldn't cover all the area, and there was a bus service inside the park.

After leaving Yuanmingyuan, I headed for Zhongguangcun that is famous as a technology hub in Beijing.
But, I didn't have anything to do there except for eating lunch.

Then, I moved to Qianmen(Haidianhuangzhuang→Beijing Metro Line 4→Xianwumen→Beijing Metro Line 2).
The purpose was to eat Beijing Duck and to visit Railway Museum.

Shichahai is a tourist destination where restaurants alongside lake are cramped for space.
I ate zhajiangmian (Chinese dish of ground pork over wheat noodles) at a restaurant.

At Nanluoguxiang(Since terminus station is to be changed soon after extension of Beijing Metro Line 8, the destination is displayed by LED)
I visited the hotel again to pick my baggage up, and went to Beijing Capital International Airport.
At the airport, I asked a lady at information centre to inform me of the way to today's hotel. Then, she wrote down the address and Chinese name of the hotel on a piece of paper.
I handed the paper to a taxi driver.
Because he didn't know the hotel, he told me "打电话!(Telephone!)
He asked a staff of the hotel about the way to the hotel, and he brought me there.
