Beijing Subway Daytime telephone (Monday-Friday): 010-6834 0565 Nighttime telephone (Monday-Friday and the whole day of Saturday and Sunday): 010-6834 0563 E-mail: dtservice@bjsubway.com Taking the subway is the fastest mode of transportation in Beijing. It usually operates from 5A.M to 11P.M. Beijing Subway in Chinese is “bei3 jing1 di4 tie3” (I can not show you the characters because your English Windows doesn’t support Chinese characters). Outside, when you see a square grey pillar on top of which is a lighted blue sign with the letter ‘B’, it means that there is an access to the subway station. No matter how long you travel and how many times you transfer to other subway lines, it costs you only CNY 2 to take a metro in Beijing. What a good deal!

 | |  |  | Subway: More important tips for subway travellers | |  |  | |  |
Important information! When you take the subway you must of course buy your ticket. If you have a child with you he/she won’t need to buy one if your child heighs less than 1.1 meters (3.6 feet). Yes, you are absolutely right, in Europe is by age, not by eight (remember, this is a different world, a different culture, you shouldn’t judge if it is better or worse than the world you are used to live in, it is simply different). If you carry packages or luggages into the subway they shouldn’t be larger than 0.12 square meters (1.29 square feet), otherwise you will need to pay an additional ticket for them. Although bikes are very popular and you see them everywhere, don’t think you can take them into the subway. Besides, articles more than 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) long, large appliances like bicycles, washers, televisions, computer monitors, refrigerators, etc.), animals, grenades, atomic bombs and other strange stuff considered a danger to public health are simply prohibited (my advice is: abide by the rules, don’t try to be smart like you are in your country where you can easily fool the authorities, here is different).

A way to get around is taking the subway for 3 RMB. When we were there I think there were three lines: Line 1, Line 13 and the loop line. We stayed at the Radisson SAS hotel and it was possible to take the subway from the hotel but it took about 15 minutes to walk to the nearest station (Liufang station on line 13). The subway is nice but the connections (e.g. from line 13 to loop line)was not all that great. I had to walk quite a bit and and you have to buy another ticket when you switch from one line to the other. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

Catching the Subway in Beijing is very easy. The subway route is very simple to understand. Catch it to the station nearest your destination and then catch a taxi or walk to your destination. That's a cheap way to do transport. There is English next to the Chinese signs, and also there is an English announcement on the subway. The subway is cheap, 3 RMB. It comes very regularly. I've had to wait only about 5 mins for each train. There is no air con, so be ready to sweat in Summer! Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

For central Beijing, one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get around is the subway. It is quick and efficient. There are 2 lines which stops at most major tourist destinations. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
