Getting around in Beijing:
Beijing is an immense city and fortunately it offers a well developed public transport network. They are subway and bus lines as well as taxis which are a convenient, safe and relatively inexpensive mode of transportation. For tourists, the best way to get around the city is to use subway that has large, clean and well signposted stations in Mandarin and English. Already buses can be a difficult means of transportation if you do not speak Chinese.
