Hi, i am visiting Beijing soon, will be staying at Novotel Peace near Wanfujing street. Besides taking taxi, what is the easiest way to get to Great Wall, Summer Palace, Heaven Temple, Tiananmen, Forbidden City? I understand that each place is very big, which is the best gate/way to walk to tour each place. I am also worry to catch taxi from the various places back to my hotel, will it be difficult? What do I need to take note? Thank you.
