I will be travelling to Beijing on Feb. 13-19, 2014 with family of 5. I wonder where is the best place to stay and if there are tour guide available who can tour us around.

Hi, you can consider staying near Wangfujing area. Then it will be convenient for shopping, dining and transportation. If you just want a guide to show you around, you can turn to your hotel to find a suitable one for you. If you are interested in joining a tour, you can use the service of TravelChinaGuide. Here is their email address: travelchinaguide.com|tours

As for the must-see attractions, they are Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Badaling or Mutianyu Great Wall, and Ming Tombs (Sacred Road). Besides, Xidan, Wangfujing and Dazhalan are famous commercial centers in the city and in Wangfujing and Dazhalan, you will also find nice local snacks.
