After an amazing moment at the Great Wall, we continued our journey back to the city of Beijing. As per our itinerary, we supposed to visit Temple of Heaven next after Great Wall, however after the incident in the morning, we were a bit out of time so we decided to skip that and proceeded to the next place which is Silk Market. It was nearly 4.00pm, we were hungry and if we go to the Temple of Heaven, we needed to spent at least around 2hrs there. Dengan lapar… sejuk and penat after hiking the Great Wall, we can’t afford for another long walk, so that’s why we changed our plan to the Silk Market instead so that we could filled our tummy.
We arrived at Dongzhimen Stn around 6pm, and from there, we took subway to Silk Market as per below route:
Dongzhimen Station (Line 2) ==> Jianguomen (Exchange Line 1) ==> Yong’anli (Line 1)
Dongzhimen Station.
Joining the crowd with locals.
The Yong'anli Stn. is connected with the Silk Market.
Entrance to the Silk Market from the subway station.
ii) Xiushui Street (Silk Market )
Xiushui Street (Silk Market) is a popular shopping market in Beijing that it is important as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China.
Address:
No.8, East Xiushi Street, Chaoyang District.
Direction:
Take Subway Line 1 and get off at Yong'anli.
We arrived here around 6pm, flattern... starving... so first kita terjah food court dulu ok. There are total 6th floor in this Silk Market building
Adoi food court tingkat atas sekali la plak... bertabahla nak makan 😅😅.
But before that, we went to the loo... sejuk beb mmg asik nak terkucil.
Toilet was clean.
Ok settled, we continued to the food court located at the top most level of the building.
Muka ada senyum bila nmpak food court.. 🤤🤤
We saw this banner, an Indian/Pakistan restaurant which served Halal cuisane. Afterall we did made a research earlier so we knew that there's Halal restaurant at Silk Market.
Amboi model dia. Kami tak terngiur tgk model dia, tp lebih terngiur tgk makanan dia.
Lets order...
Straight to the counter.
Nor ordered the Chicken Tandoori.
Served with Chapati and for drink, she ordered Hot Milk Tea.
Me ordered Briani Chicken & Manggo lassi.
Once filled, we got our energy back so it's time to check what Silk Market got to offer.
This is really nice market with fake of lot of good brands like Gucci, Chanel, LV, YSL and many more. The copy is really nice looks almost like original. They bargain a lot so you should be good to get a hard bargain then you can get stuff at really cheap price. If you don't like bartering than this isn't the place for you.
This is also the place where you can get many types of souvenirs...... for the fridge magnet, you can get 3pieces at RMB10!
Lots of souvenir here.
Chinese culinaries.
Souvenir plates with historical places in Beijing / China.
Red vases and plates. Unique and looks oriental.
Fridge magnets for collection.
Chinese Opera fridge magnets. Cute....
Other local snacks like candies, pickles, biscuits, cakes etc also available here...
Sejuk2 ni idok la nak makan aiskrim...
We went outside and strolled along the Xiushui Street. It's already dark but the city still crowded and happening...

Layan view lagi...
After spending about an hour here, we decided to call it a day and back home.
Back to subway.
Ticketing machine.
Security check is a must everytime you entering the subway.
Inside the train. Quite full, luckily only few stops to Dengshikou.
To Dengshikou Stn. from Silk Market, the route as per below route:
Yong’anli (Line 1) ==> Dongdan (Exchange Line 5) ==> Dengshikou (Line 5)
Along the way walking back to hostel, we noticed that the Wanfujing Street was just nearby our route. Since it's still early (around 9pm), we decided to go for second visit. It was our last night at Beijing so why not kan..... somemore lots of shop already closed when we visited yeasterday, so lets check again today.
iii) Wangfujing Street
Not much here as I already posted about it in previous post, so layan je la gambar ok...
We just strolled along the Wangfujing street, than after about half an hour, decided to go back to hostel. We needed to pack back our luggage as tomorrow we will check out to another city, Xi'an.
