'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: Taking a subway is the best way to get around. It goes to most major spots and its cheap. It costs 3 Yuan for a trip. There are 2 main lines - the loop line and the straight line. The loop line makes a circle around the central part of the city. The straight line crosses through the loop line extending East and West of the city. There are 2 stops where you can transfer - Jianguomen and Fuxingmen. Beijing's subway trains are rather old though. I remember it smelled a bit. It may sound weird to say this but I quite liked the voice of the station annoucer. I really liked her accent....I'm weird.

Getting TO/AROUND: If you want to do it an old Chinese style, then get a rickshaw. You will see it around the city., specially around hutongs. To make sure you get to where you want, have a name of the place written in Chinese.

Getting TO/AROUND: Im not really sure what its called. But it looks like a tuk-tuk in Thailand so I'll just name it this way. Anyway, riding a Chinese tuk-tuk can be another transportation experience you can get from being in Beijing. Not sure about the price, didnt get on one. But suppose you should bargain since there is no meter.

Ah so, you found the Starbucks in the Forbidden City! I also like your language tip as well as the Peking "tuk tuk" ... Good job! | urban4est Sun Nov 14, 2004 05:59 UTC
I wonder if I could start a new business exporting old American spitoons to China. Who knows it might be come the new "Western" fad to hit the spitoon in bars like it was in America. Any investors? | dixonchan Thu Nov 4, 2004 13:52 UTC
Keep going with all your must-visit places in Beijing. If my company doesn not send me there for biz trip within the next 2 years, I'm going to make my own trip there. :D |
