Oh, if you really want to go, you can add these two in the 2nd day’s route after the Acrobatic Show.
You can walk from the Olympic Sports Center to the east to Asian Sports Village and take bus 696. Get off at the south gate of Yuanmingyuan, and then walk to the west to Lama Temple.
Or you take subway line 8 from Olympic Sports Center to Beitucheng, transfer to line 10 to Haidian Huangzhuang, and then take line 4 to Yuanmingyuan.
From Lama Temple to the Summer Palace, you can take line 4 from Yuanmingyuan to Beigongmen.

To go back, you can take subway line 4 from Beigongmen to Xizhimen, and transfer to line 2 to Chongwenmen.
