Where is the best area to stay in Beijing, planning for a 4 night trip and visiting the great wall.

Hi, I suggest you stay at Wangfujing area, Dongcheng District or around Xidan area, Xicheng District. From these areas, you can easily reach the attractions due to the convenient transportation. Also you can wonder for shopping near the areas.

If you prefer an area for easy access for Great Wall, Xizhimen or Deshengmen, Xicheng District can be a nice choice.
