Summer Palace is a lot of walking (or can be) so you might consider doing that a separate day. We came back from Mutianyu to the Lama Temple. From there you can take Metro to Temple of Heaven, if you want, or some other place near the center of town. Then do summer palace some other morning (or afternoon).
