Transportation:
Singapore to Beijing: We fly with China Airline, pretty good

Transportation in Beijing:
Easy to travel with train, however we decided to go with DIDI (Local Uber/Grab), pretty cheap and save lots of trouble and time finding direction

Accommodation:
Quite expensive in China, we stayed at 和颐酒店(北京东直门簋街店), Pretty nice, clean with nice bathroom, but too small, luckily they upgraded us to business suite. Location is quite strategic too, lots of restaurants in the area.
