Suggested itinerary
D1
Forbidden City & Tiananmen
Book the Palace Museum slot online a week ahead. Walk the north-south axis, then explore Jingshan Park's hill for the classic panorama.
D2
Great Wall at Mutianyu
Fewer crowds than Badaling and smoother stone. Take the cable car up, hike west, and ride the toboggan down if you are brave.
D3
Hutongs & Temple of Heaven
Cycle through Nanluoguxiang at dawn, join a courtyard tea ceremony, then watch locals practice tai chi at the Temple of Heaven park.
