Thanks in advance for any help/knowledge.
p.s.
also, is this best hotel for sight-seeing? Seems fairly close to Tienanmen Square. and Forbidden City...
To the OP; just so you know ; The NPC, or 'national peoples congress' is meeting in Beijing from march 3-8th; the square might be closed a few hours a day that week, most other sites will be open, maybe with some extra security that week.
And, the censors will slow the internet down that week, as they have in the past.
