About:Badaling Great Wall

Transit in Beijing for 19 hours

I am transiting in Beijing for 19 hours on 31 Dec. My questions are:
1. Is that enough time to visit both Forbidden City and Badaling Great Wall. If you take out check out and check in times, I will probably only have 13 hours available.
2. How cold is it in 31 Dec? Too cold to go to Great Wall?
3. I don't speak Chinese. Should I use a tour guide company or is it easy to buy tickets online and navigate?
4. Is it easy to get from Daxing Airport to Forbidden City and Badaling?

1. 13 hours in a day? I think it's possible. TravelChinaGuide provides one day tour to the two:https://secure.travelchinaguide.com/reserve/minitour.aspx?code=BJV01&an=2&cn=0&p=F240CA914EB009723A603D69967BB0526F4ED32288B7BD445EDAD4AA4F1F17B6
Note that Badaling closes before 04:30pm and the Forbidden City closes before 15:30pm from November to March.
2. The temperature is -17℃-7℃.
3. The ticket for Forbidden City is super hard to get. So I think a tour guide company will ensure your trip.
4. It's not hard by train and subway.
To Forbidden City: Take airport express line to Caoqiao, transfer to line 10 to Gongzhufen, change to line 2 to Tiananmen East, then walk to the forbidden city.
To the great wall: Take airport express line to Caoqiao, transfer to line 19 to Jishuitan, change to line 2 to Xizhimen, E2 out to Beijing North Train Station, and take a bullet train there to Badaling Great Wall train station and walk to the entrance.
