How can I make the most of my limited time in Beijing. Arriving 12.30 on 9th departing 02.30 13th.

hi, Jennifer! I’d like to give you some suggestion!
9th: you can stay in Wangfujing Area. After a rest, you can wander around the street,
10th: walk northwest for about 15mins or take a cab to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. After that, you can go south to Qianmen Street.
11th: take a cab to Deshengmen and then take bus 877 to Badaling Great Wall; it also can take you back.
12th: from Deshengmen, take bus 919 express and change to bus Y22 at Shiheying, get off at Longqingxia. The Ice Lantern Festival is being held in Longqing Gorge.
13th: hire a bicycle to take a hutong tour and you can prepare to leave.

Hi
Thank you for your advice we are staying in the Wangfujing Area so will take on board your suggestions
