Is 3 days enough to see Beijing?

Three days is ideal — the Great Wall on day one, the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven on day two, and the Summer Palace and hutongs (or a Xi’an day trip) on day three, covering the wall, palaces and gardens.

What is the best day trip from Beijing for 3 days?

The Great Wall is essential, the Summer Palace the most serene, and the Terracotta Army of Xi’an by bullet train the most ambitious add-on.

How do I plan a 3-day Beijing itinerary?

Spend day one on the Great Wall, day two on the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven, and day three on the Summer Palace and hutongs, booking the wall and palace tours ahead.
