Planning a "one-day trip to Beijing", friends who are familiar with Beijing please help

Let me answer. I have lived in Beijing for several years.

First of all, there is enough time, but you can’t stay at each attraction for too long.

After getting off the train, take bus No. 845 or No. 47 at West Railway Station and get off at Deshengmen (if you get off at Beijing Station, take the subway to Deshengmen), then take bus No. 919 directly to Deshengmen Badaling, estimated to take 2 and a half minutes.

When you go back, take 919 to Deshengmen or go to a place with a subway. Then take the subway and get off at the station closest to Peking University and Tsinghua University. I walked from Peking University to Tsinghua University, so it didn’t feel very far. It is estimated to take 2 hours.

Then you can take a bus or take a taxi from the entrance of Tsinghua University to Tiananmen Square. It is also very convenient to take a bus or take the subway from Tiananmen Square to the train station.

If you are lucky, 11 hours is enough. I hope you will not encounter traffic jams. It is also recommended that the subway is your first choice of transportation (fast and safe).

Have a great time!

To put it bluntly, it is best to stay in a hotel near a subway station. I feel that hotels in Beijing are very safe. Basically, a standard room costs around 90 per night.
