Hi, I’m Lila Jiang, a China travel professional with over 5 years of experience. During these five years, I’ve traveled extensively around China.Meanwhile, I have a certain understanding of the subway transportation in various cities.Beijing’s metro system, one of the busiest and most extensive in Asia, is more than just a convenient mode of transportation—it’s the key to unlocking the city’s profound historical heritage and dynamic modern charm.
With over 20 metro lines and more than 450 stations, Beijing’s subway network connects nearly every major tourist attraction, historical site, and local neighborhood. Whether you’re here to visit time-honored landmarks or immerse yourself in the daily lives of Beijing residents, the metro will get you there efficiently and affordably. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the Beijing Metro Map, highlight the must-visit stations, and provide tips to help you plan a seamless and enjoyable metro journey in this ancient yet vibrant metropolis.
