My wife and I and two kids (5yo & 7yo) are considering going to Beijing for 4-5 days over Christmas to do the main sites (Great Wall, Forbidden City etc.) Can anyone advise if 4 days will be enough, whether it is busy then in Beijing and where would be a good hotel for our family?
Also heard there is a good spot for tobogganning etc. with the kids a short drive from Beijing? Where is it and is it worth visiting?

5 days would be better so that you don't have to rush.

WARNING be prepared to be stuck in traffic jams for hours on end! My four day trip recently included 12 hours in taxis! It was a nightmare could only do one vist in the morning and one in the afternoon.Didn't get to most places it was all too hard ended up eating at the hotel. And don't go to Quan Jude Peking Duck restaurant it was VERY average! Poor service and crap atmosphere even if it is famous! And no chinese tea after 9pm! Go figure.
Last year when I went to Shenzen with my American friend she was turned away at border and told she could only get one in HK!!
