I've got an upcoming mileage run of sorts but also will be in Bejing 2 nights, to recharge the batteries and see the key sites. Will really just have one full day to see everything. Want to see the Forbidden City, Great Wall and maybe Tianammen(sp?) square.

Looking to stay in a nice mid level (as far as luxury) hotel, think Sheraton, Hilton, etc..... I will probably prefer to do a Marriott(SPG) property to count as nights for status but if the right hotel offered something more beneficial as far as location I might do that instead.

Anyone have any good recommendations on pulling off see these sites in one day. Lucky, One mile at a time seemed to be able to make it work so why can't I. I have not read of any great tour guide services from him, though, maybe they don't exist there and maybe it's not feasible or cost effective being on my own.
