Limited time - deciding how many days in Beijing

We are attending a trade show in Shanghai, planning also to fly to Beijing. Will three days be a sufficient amount of time for this (might be able to squeeze four)? Thanks everyone.

I'm looking through all the previous reports and posts now. This forum is always awesome.

Four. You need a day at least to just sit and watch.

If you are planning to go to the Great Wall, then that would only give you 2 full days.
We spent 4 full days in Beijing (one at Great Wall) and didn't think it was enough. There is so much to see and do!!
I say squeeze in a 4th day.

I've just posted a trip report if you're interested in seeing what we accomplished in 4 days (and what we couldn't fit in):

Good luck!

For planning puposes, on your way back from the Great Wall, stop for a couple of hours at the Summer Palace, those 2 sites are out of the city, the others are within the city.
