Beijing - Travel Tips?

After much anticipation, I finally received my itinerary today at work. I'm going to be in Beijing Dec. 6-11. Other than the obvious (Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square) does anybody have any "must see" suggestions?

I only have Sunday and weekdays after work to play the part of Stupid American Tourist, so I'll have to keep pretty local.

Definitely checking out the food market too - been looking forward to some scorpion on a stick.
