Beijing
4 nights · Dongsi / Dengshikou
A central base for a rest between outings and a simple return after the gardens.
Beijing · 4 nightsBeijing: three days of slow gardens
Big gardens, early mornings and room to sit. Three full sightseeing days for kids, grandparents or anyone who likes an easy pace, plus arrival and departure.
Why this itinerary works
Give the Summer Palace a whole day. Choose a short lakeside route and let the benches and breaks set the pace.
Visit the Temple of Heaven at dawn for the park atmosphere, then keep the rest of the day yours.
Pair Beihai Park with the Lama Temple, with a long break and a ride between them. Four nights keep arrival and departure gentle; if you add the palace, book it first and never pair it with the Wall.
