I really enjoyed Beihai Park. It is more of place where residents, rather than tourist go. Big lake with paddle boats, locals practicing opera or calligraphy. Long strolls through garden paths.

Of course if you haven't seen the Forbidden City, that should be choice #1.

If you like shopping with three floor of clothing, trinkets, and jewerly, then go to the "Silk Market". (More modern goods than silk, but has every cheap you'll want to buy.)
