Our weeklong trip to Beijing included many parks, temples, the Great Wall of China, and we visited some of the best restaurants in the capital city. Our hotel in Beijing was a smaller one, but it was very clean and conveniently located to what we wanted to see. It even included breakfast each morning. We traveled with two of our friends from Texas and we were a very small to our group just the four of us each day. We would have a driver and they would take us to the place. We wanted to see it usually we would see it on our own and then found them when we were ready to move onto the next location. Occasionally, the guide would be an expert on the area we were looking and they would accompany us.
