We from team 4 feels that we had really have a great time learning and understanding the culture of the Chinese in Beijing. The scenary in the country was also nice, we get to take alot of shots of ourselves in the country which we do not want to miss when coming back home.
As for our leader, Rashidee he was proud of himself as he managed to survive in Beijing which he thought it was impossible to continue his fasting overseas. =)

Here is some information about Temple of heaven……
This complex was visited by the emperors of the Ming and Qing for annual ceremonies of prayer to heaven for good harvest. As it is regarded as a Taoist temple.
This temple was constructed from 1402 to 1420 during the yongle emperor who was responsible for the construction. Then the complex was extended and rename as temple of heaven.

Constructed in 1530 and rebuilt in 1740 and it made of white marble.The altar was used to worship heaven at the winter….
The number of stones in various tiers is multiples of three or nine and number nine is the highest value digit that represented the emperor.

BUPT, Forbidden City, Family Visit
Once again, we were asking to meet 7.30am then we shall proceed with our journey to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), Forbidden City and Family Visit. However, not all gather at 7.30am sharp so we have to wait for everyone ready and then we walk towards our bus and go to our destination.
Our first station!
BUPT
When we get there, we were brought to a lecture room with some of their year 1 student. When we got into building, we able to see their achievement. Below are the picture taken:
He gives us a presentation of their Cisco API club, their objective, what they have achieved so far and what they are planning to do next. Below picture showing their objective:
Below are the details that they are planning to do:
More Technology Focus Activities
- Found more learning groups
- Organise technology contest
- Lecture on advanced technology
- Obtain internal training through Cisco
Deeper Connection With CRDC
- Invite Cisco engineer to become the mentor of their learning groups
- Invite Cisco engineer/HR to instruct the career path
- Secure more chances to plunge into Cisco
Below picture also showing their timeline:
Below also have some picture taken when we having our detour (do take a close look at it):
Their school network!
Their server room!(though a bit mess as they are building up!)
On our way to another building
Here is the another building
Having a detour in the lab that test the performance of the optical fiber and cable. 
The above picture show the clear view of what is the thin wire consist of
Professor explaining the machine to us! 
Our facilitator presents Republic Polytechnic’s Crest as a token of appreciation to the professor!
Come to this restaurant to have our lunch!
Tian An Men!
After hang around at Tian An Men to have photos, we head towards the Forbidden City!
Our ticket to get in the Forbidden City!
When we were at Wu Men (午门)
When get in, we were given time to take photos. Our tour guide Lily told us that we have 6 this kind of building(above picture) to cross in order to reach the Yu Hua Yuan(Imperial Garden) then after the garden then there shall be the place we have to meet up. As most of us like to take photo, hence we were given time to take photos and tour around the Forbidden City. However, we have to meet at the end side of the Palace at 4.30pm (it is the time close for visitor).
This is the Yu Huan Yuan (Imperial Garden) 
After Imperial Garden, we come to a place where everyone sit and and gather together.
After everyone have gather, we were to have a “trishaw” ride to have a family visit.
I think this is quite new to us, as in Singapore usually will not sit trishaw though still are still have this “transport” in Singapore.
The living room
The bedroom (really still at those dynasty time, is so rare nowadays) 
In the olden days, in order to past time the people live in the dynasty tends to play cricket. Usually having 2 crickets in one container and let them fight. And the capable cricket will win in the fight!
Heard from the uncle say that if you put money inside the basin then rub the handle with your clean hand, and you see the wave and have sound that mean that you are rich person. Many of our school friends go try to see if they are going to be rich. Do you believe in this?
Okay, the post shall end here for the Day 4. Hope you by reading this post will make you have the temptation of going overseas to have a new experience and learn new stuff.
