Beijing sightseeing itinerary

As I already mentioned in A taste of life in China, while in college, I went on a six-month student exchange to Xiamen, China. There I met a nice girl from Sweden. We were dorm roommates and we became friends. We decided to take a four-day trip to Beijing together. Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China and the second most populous city in the world. It's known for its rich history and culture, great political and economic influence, breathtaking modern and traditional architecture and many unparalleled monuments. * Low-quality photo alert!!! :) In Xiamen, I bought, probably, the worst camera...
