1. The suggested sightseeing itinerary is the following:
Day 1: Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven
Day 2: Badaling Great Wall, Bird's Nest & Water Cube, Wangfujing Pedestrian Street
Day 3: Summer Palace, Hutongs, Silk Street
Day 4: Fragrant Hills Park, Sanlitun Bar Street
2. Well, what's the budget of your accommodation?
It's suggested to stay nearby Wangfujing Street. There are lots of shopping malls and local recommended restaurants. And the surrounding transportation is quite convenience. Piao Home Inn (Wangfujing Branch) is a good choice. The price is around CNY 200 per night in usual time. It's located at No.43 Dong'anmen Street. Hope you like.
3. For Badaling Great Wall, you can enter from the main entrance. Then the scenic area is divided into north section and south section. You can choose one of them and tour around. Most tourists choose to visit the north one first. It has twelve watchtowers. It generally takes about 3 hours to complete. If you have enough time and energy, you can visit south section then. It has seven watchtowers. The south section is a nice area to avoid crowded tourists. The suggested sightseeing time is 2 hours.
4. About the certificate, many venders sell near and in the attraction. But I heard they are fake ones. For the real one, you can get the Haohan Certificate Issuing Center there.
Hope help!
