Is 5 days in Beijing enough time? And is it worth the price of airfare and visa?

[D.D.]

I like beijing and 5 days is a good amount of time to see it.

that's tons of time. You will even have enough to do some day trips.

Went for 5 days....seemed to be just the right amount of time to do what I wanted to do there!

Going for 9 days over Chuseok, but I will also be taking the night train down to Shanghai and staying there for 3 days.

I'd say 5 days is a perfect amount of time! I'm sure you could give or take a day or two depending on what you like, but I think it's good.

[definitely maybe]

Jinshaling to Simitai for your wall trip. Well worth it.

Most of the hostels have overnight stays at the wall you can do. Quiet areas too. Friend of mine did it and it was apparently well worth it. They give you tents and gear and the trip there. I also liked Matianyu as a day trip. That part was pretty quiet and they had a cool tobaggon run from the mountain all the way down. Good times.

5 days isn't enough anywhere.....except for Vegas, and then 5 days is too much!

Five days is plenty of time. Temple of heaven, forbidden city within walking distance of each other. Wall trip takes a day. Shopping and nightlife arent much but good restaraunts. Take in the Beijing opera. Lots of good hostels.

I did that hike too. Bummer! Glad I took some photos but wish I had taken more.
