Lots of things to see, and if you watched Bertolucci's movie, this visit will be even better. The visit takes quite a long time.

The Forbidden City of Beijing China. One of the coolest places I've ever been to. Full of history. Plenty of things to see. You can spend all day here if you wanted to. There is a really nice park located on the northern side after you exit. You'll have to climb a small mountain though to reach the top.

. The Palace museum is a must-see location if you're in Beijing. Although congested, Beijing is what it is. . The building design is stunning. Every element showcases the rich culture and traditional elements of Chinese architecture. . Wonderful historical location should advise advance ticket purchases.
