A nice drink at Houhai sitting by the lake is an idea.

Duck at Liqun followed by a quick little hutong stroll in the surrounding area too (the area's under active destruction/renovation and has been so for over 2 years - but still, last I checked, had a pretty active life buzzing about).

Keep things simple and take a cab to and from the airport. You can get addresses at the airport, online or from this board if you ask. I'd leave actual sightseeing for another time.
Duck at Liqun and a little hutong stroll sounds fine, which is my idea of culture. I have been to Beijing before and seen all the big tourist attractions but have not been to hutong.

I will take a cab; where about is Liqun and how far is it from the airport?
