Beijing in 72 hours: temples, the Great Wall and Forbidden City

I finally made it to the capital of China! I only had 3 days here, and I tried to fit in all the highlights. I walked up to 16 km a day and managed to enjoy this beautiful city with its rich history! 🌆 My 3-Day Itinerary Day 1: • Tiananmen Square • Qianmen Street • Temple of Heaven • Wangfujing Street Day 2: • Badaling Great Wall • Lama Temple • Sanlitun District • CCTV Building • China World Mall Day 3: • Summer Palace • Yuanmingyuan Park • Forbidden City • Beihai Park • SOHO Galaxy 🍜 Restaurant Recommendations: • Muji Café • Siji Minfu (but it’s always crowded!) • Restaurants at China World Shopping Mall (there are three floors full of dining options!) 🛌 Hotel: I stayed at the Howard Johnson Paragon Hotel — good service and a convenient location. #historicallandmarks #localguides #solotravel #beijing #china #itinerary #scenicspotguide #beijingtrip #asiatrip #greatwall #deliciousfood
