Subway in Beijing

Beijing now has four subway lines:

  • Line 1 runs from the industrial Pingguoyuan area in west Beijing to Sihui East in eastern Beijing . It has 21 stops.

  • Line 2 is the loop line running under the interior 2nd Ring Road

  • Line 13 does an extended northern semi-loop from Dongzhimen via Huilongguan through to Xizhimen

  • The Batong Line extends from Sihui through to Tuqiao in eastern suburban Beijing .

The subway station entrances are identified by a large blue stylized letter B wrapped around a smaller letter D.

The subway is an excellent way to quickly get around the city and a traveller can easily figure it out through the station maps and English signs and language. The subway fare is around 3 yuan.
