Any visit to Beijing is incomplete without a hike on the Great Wall. So on the first day, I a 33 climbing the Great Wall. Since Badaling is always full of people, you can go to Juyong Pass, which is less c 34 but still wonderful. You can enjoy the b 35 and take photos on the way. The next day, you can take the axis(轴线) tour through the centre of Beijing. That means you can visit the Temple of Heaven, Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City in just one day. Perhaps you will be tired but it is w 36 a visit. After two days' sightseeing, you can s 37 down if your feet ache. On the third day, it's a good idea to walk along Wangfujing Street. Also, you can enjoy nice food and watch art shows at Nanluoguxiang and Shichahai. On the last day, if you are still energetic, v 38 the Summer Palace is the best choice.
Beijing has many charms. It may not represent all of China. H 39 , it is a pretty good place to start exploring the wonders of the whole country. Within f 40 days, I'm sure you will fall in love with it.
