How to plan the route when traveling in Beijing for a week?

When you enter the Forbidden City from Tiananmen Square, you can visit it all day. Don't worry, it's worth spending a day watching it slowly. Don't think it will be solved in three hours. Meaningless. Come out at night and go to Jingshan to watch the sunset in Beijing. It's very beautiful when the weather is good. After coming down from Jingshan, you can go to Sanlian Bookstore by bike and feel the charm of the 24-hour bookstore.

Added after one and a half years: Sanlian Bookstore has been closed.

D2 Great Wall

I definitely don't recommend going to Badaling. If you must go to the Great Wall, Badaling has no choice. Many people, all kinds of chaos. If you have more outdoor experience, you can search for the arrow buckle yourself, which is the most beautiful place in the Great Wall of Beijing. However, the arrow button is very dangerous, and accidents happen almost every year! It is absolutely not recommended to go without outdoor experience! If you are just an ordinary tourist, you can choose Mutianyu, take 9 16 at Dongzhimen, change trains at Huairou, or charter a car.

Come down from the Great Wall, don't rush back to the city, you can go to the Hedgehog Library.

This is the place.

Douban is introduced as follows:

Brief introduction of Liyuan library

Beijing Huairou suburb, single-story small library, wooden frame, all-glass lighting, 175 square meters. The wooden terrace is both a reading area and a rest area. 40,000 sticks of firewood make up a natural library. The bookstore is like a square "bird's nest". The outer side is wrapped with sticks with dense length and uniform thickness, and the inner side is made of glass with strong permeability. * * * two floors, bookcase strewn at random have send, display the literature, history, family planning, planting books. ...

This library is only open on weekends, so we need to arrange time.

This place is in Hecun at the junction of Huairou. You can get off at Mutianyu and go there by bus. Then find a farmhouse nearby for one night, or stay near Mutianyu for one night, go early the next morning, and return to the city after reading it. Note that the number of buses returning to the city from there is limited, so you need to ask the villagers in advance about the frequency.

If you decide to return to the city on the same day, you need to pay attention to the time. Cars in tourist attractions usually close early. Thank you @ Scarlett's little red gloves for reminding me.

D3

After arriving in Huairou, you can take the 9 16 bus back to the city and get off at Dashanzi (you can't take the express train, you need to ask the driver in advance whether to go to Dashanzi). When you get to Dashanzi, you can have three choices. If you are interested in movies, you can go to Beijing Film Museum and take 4 18 to Black Bridge. If you are interested in trains, you can go to Railway Museum and take the ring road. Yes, there is a bus stop called Ring Railway, which is a comprehensive railway test base. (Thanks to @ Mu for reminding me that the 9 16 local train takes a long time. You can take Expressway 9 16 to Sanyuan Bridge and then take a bus back. To sum up, it should be faster than taking the local train. )

China academy of railway sciences is located in the ring railway test base in the eastern suburb of Chaoyang District. The base covers an area of 64 hectares and was built in 1958. It is the only comprehensive railway test base in China and even in Asia. There is a test line in the base. There is a perfect circle curve (commonly known as the Great Ring) with a radius of 1 432 m and a circumference of 9 km.
