Hi. I plan to take a cab to Tiananmen and walk into Forbidden City, out into Beihai Park to the back lakes for a rickshaw tour and back to the Houhai area for dinner.

Is this doable or will it be extremely strenuous for kids? Note that I will be with two kids below 10 and therefore will only pass through Tiananmen and FC for the souvenir photo shots. Still, how long a distance are we talking about here?

Should I just break this down into Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen and FC one day and Drum Tower, Beihai and hutongs for another day?

Finally, are there toilets inside/around these sites? In FC? In Beihai? I'm sorry for being a pest about this issue but my daughter for some reason needs to go every 15minutes! And are there eating places within Beihai?
