The main stadium of the Olympics in 2008, where the openning and closing ceremony was held, as well as track and field items were compaigned.

You can put either the Juyongguan Great Wall or Badaling Great Wall together with the Ming Tombs to make one day as they are in the same direction. Don't miss the Sacred Pass if you visit the Ming Tombs.

A clepsydra was used as a device to tell time, which is composed of four levels of buckets with water dripping from the top, each bucket makes a quater, when the last one is full, a bronze figure on the top claps the brass to announce one hour.

The most crowded part of the Wall as it's the part that all Chinese would go, due to Chairman Mao's going there and said if you don't climb the Wall, you will never be a real hero or heroin.

The Wall descends to the water at this part, if you are interested in different parts of the Wall, this is a good option too, or you can do both Mutianyu and Huanghuacheng as they are not far from one another.

The place I like best in Beijing, an imperial garden from the Qing Dynasty with main buildings along the foot of the hill and along the lake, which brings cool breeze in the summer. Beautiful in all seasons.

It's a very historical area in Beijing, with Hutongs, courtyard houses, former residences of celebrities as well as the docks of Jinghang Canal.

ancient city walls are disconnected in Beijing, some of gates were restored, but you can still have an idea of how they looked like and the format of the whole city.

A must-go if someone wants to see pandas. It's a very big zoo to spend half a day with kids. Traffic is convenient to go by oneself, subway station is right there.

A place with both top brands and low end intersecting with a food street where you can find local snacks and most weird food like scorpions and seahorses.

It's adjascent to the Forbidden City, good to combine the Tian'an men Square, Forbidden City with Jinshan Park as a tour. An ideal place for the panorama of the Forbidden City.

Remember not to take any photoes inside the buildings especially of the buddha images, unlike other countries in Asia, it's not allowed here.
