[quote=MAGISTER,478135]Have you decided which part of the wall to visit? I would recommend jinshanling. It's a little further from Beijing than some of the other parts which most tourists go to but it is far more authentic and it won't be overcrowded. I'd also recommend visiting the summer palace and/or the temple of heaven. At this time of year both are nice places to spend an afternoon and you'll find plenty of elderly people there singing various kinds of music, playing traditional instruments, dancing and playing card & board games. When you go to the forbidden city remember to get an electronic tour guide as without it you won't really know what you're looking at. There is also a small hill just behind the forbidden city called jinshang park (separate admission) which gives you great views back across the forbidden city as well as much of downtown Beijing. If you are feeling adventurous then hire a bike and get lost in the hutong (traditional neighborhoods in beijing). You'll definitely want to take a map when you do that that and have the name and address of your hotel written in Chinese characters so that if you really do get lost you can just jump in a taxi.[/quote]
