Off to Beijing for 8 days... what to do?

Hey guys, I'm looking for some suggestions on what to do in Beijing. My flight leaves in 9 hours

So far, I'm planning on the Great Wall, Tianemen Sq and the Forbidden City. I will have time in the evenings Mon-Wed (working the rest of the time) and Thurs-Sat to explore. Flying back Sunday...

Let me know! My suitcase is half-full... might have to do some shopping =)

Giri,
You should've PMed me...
I thought you were going to Paris? I just got back last night from Munich.

Okay, Beijing, gotta check these places out:

Great Wall of Sumatai (sp?) and Mutianyu (sp?)
The silk market you have to go here.
The Pearl Market as I recall, this is a tall 5-6 story bldg.

I'd tell you to go to Umaquai (sp?) to see the heavenly canyons, they're beautiful if you appreciate nature. Seeing the great wall ruins take time too...
It's cold over there right now. Where are you staying? Have a great time!

Have a good flight and a great trip, Giri. Take plenty of pictures. Man, you have been a busy bee, as of late. Hopefully, we'll see you soon at a NCG meet.
