[quote=DODGER,376328]Curry, I presume you mean Wang fu jing street?
Waist of time in my opinion, but the Forbidden City is just five minutes walk from there along with Tiananmen Square.
The Summer palace is in the north west and the Temple of heaven is in the south, so trying to see them all including the Forbidden City in one day  is stretching it a bit.
There are a few places that you can access the Wall from depending if you like crowds and hawkers or a little quite, but the quite bits take time to get to.
Ghost Street would be a nice way to finish the day though.
Your Hotel would have information on transport to these places, but depending on your budget, taxis may be the way to go. 
Make sure the Hotel gives you their card with their address on it in Chinese characters, not in pinyin, as the Taxi drivers in general cannot read pinyin.
If you knock over Tiananmen and the Forbidden City on day one it would leave you time to visit the Silk Market for any shopping you might want to do.
“Are there any places to have snacks?”
Beijing must have more restaurants per square foot than any other City in the world.
Finally, you are supposed to have your passport on you at all times. Make a photocopy and carry that with you. Leave the original locked up at the hotel.
Cheers, Dodger.
