From the first subway line in 1969 to 10 lines in 2010, the subway in Beijing is developing rapidly. It connects the east end with the west and the north with the south. If you are going to have China Tours and want to visit the Olympic stadiums such as bird nest or water cube, you can go there and experience one of the newest subway lines in Beijing. Besides the China Flights, the subway is also one of the aspect that you should experience.
In order to get prepared for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing had added about three new subways lines. They could not only take more passengers during the Olympics, but the design of the subway is also very interesting. For example, one of the subways has a lot of bulbs which look very similar to the water cube. It can remind people some factors which appeared in the Olympics. Now, after the Olympics, the trains are still running and take more people to the stadiums. It gives us such a good memory.
In addition to the train, you can also pay attention to something else. For example, look at the post on the wall. What do they tell you about? Go to the newspaper stand and get some newspaper before you pop onto the train. You can also see some ATMs nowadays. Compared to the earlier subway facilities, these are all gradually changed. People can do more than just traveling. You can learn something out of it. In the busy hours in the morning, the people who are going to work can get free newspapers too.
Another change of Beijing subway is its speed. Especially when during the rush hours, the train comes every two or three minutes. The ability to take more people in time has been enhanced. Each time before the train is coming, the broadcast will tell people. In the new train, there are some TVs too. So you won’t get bored when you are taking the train.
One of the short comes of Beijing subway is the transfer. When you are transferring from one line to another, you will have to walk a long way. Sometimes it takes more time to transfer than to take a bus. So if you really have an appointment, you would better make a good choice.
The trains have connected the outskirts with the city too. If you are going to hike in Miyun district or going to see the red leaves in Mount Fragrance, you can choose to go by subway because there is no traffic.
Besides the subway, the bus is also developing too. You can see a lot more buses on the road now and they come more often. The Olympic lines are kept and it is very convenient to transfer too. Another thing about the bus is their number. Recently, the number of the bus has been systematized and you can tell from their number that how many times you have to scan the card.
As Beijing is growing to a metropolitan city, its traffic is fast developing. It has given a lot of convenience to the people who visit here and live here. For more information about traveling in Beijing, you can go to Beijing Tours.
