I hope you brought your subway card with you because today I'm taking you on a 104-kilometer journey between the two most distant stations in the Beijing subway network! From serene suburbs to the crowded underground tunnels of the second longest loop line in the world and along the way, some pretty cool metro art, it's a city adventure that won't break the piggy bank.

the craziest thing is the price!! I can't believe the whole journey of 100+kms only cost 10 yuan? It's simply unimaginable here in Shenzhen...

@longinchina Год назад

How much is the fare in Shenzhen? The Beijing Subway fare ranges from 3 to 10 yuan, based on distance.

¥14 i guess, from the very SE to the very NW. Not too expensive lol

@noneintel2119 11 месяцев назад

100 km only cost about 1.5 us dollars unbelieveable. In NYC I think the subway fare is 3 dollars .

@lilyflowa666 Год назад

i’m so glad that you made this!! the original video that introduced me to your channel was your first video riding all the lines, as i was searching for content like that, exploring subways. i’ve grown to really love all the other videos you upload, and i admire your dedication to subway exploration!!!!

@longinchina Год назад

Glad to know you've been around since the first subway video! I'm constantly thinking of transportation-related content -- bike rides, walking challenges, subway stuff... but I try to diversify my ideas to appeal to more people. That said, it seems that subway videos are a hit -- so maybe that's the way to go!

More facts about China subways: The people who over 60-64 years old are half price for riding. People over 65 years old are free for riding. All underground metro stations are air conditionined. All metro stations platform installed safety screens wall. Mobile signal are covered all metro systems. Some metro lines are running 160km/h. Pls, check Guangzhou metro line 18 and line 22 which are running 160km/h between some segments. The ridership in Guangzhou metro are 2.3 billion per year in recent years. That's the busiest metro in the world.

@GMDThread8 11 месяцев назад

You're probably wrong about the 3rd point. In fact, some underground stations still have only installed platform gates, which means the platforms are half-open and probably not air-conditioned

@skywire5595 Год назад

Incredible cheap fares ... thks for sharing

@driftert5687 Год назад

I enjoyed it as much as you did. 😆

@longinchina Год назад

Haha! Glad you did.

Beijing Metro was amazing when I visited. Efficient, clean and quiet. Everything the dirty London Underground isn't. The London Underground doesn't even support mobile networks!

@2003LN6 Год назад

Thanks for filming Houshayu, my home station!

@MeMe-wz5hv 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your effort with the video. It’s been very useful to see the lines on the map and you actually travelling on them.

@longinchina 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! It was actually one of the funnest videos to film - and a favorite of mine to this day.

@woojongson5431 Год назад

How did I ever miss this comment? Thank YOU! Hopefully soon I'll hop back on a train for a new adventure (currently recovering from a knee injury so limited mobility).

@hong3170 Год назад

It is true people in Beijing talk about long distance relationship even they live in the same city.

@longinchina Год назад

Haha. It's a big city.

@willengel2458 Год назад

it's probably because of work hours than distance, or combination of both.

@willdoit222 Год назад

very nice indeed

@longinchina Год назад

Thank you!

@evelinericksson1611 Год назад

wow 6th ring, you are quite out there in the country side, i guess. When I lived in china, there was just 4th ring road, I think.

@longinchina Год назад

My first time going this far out actually, but weird enough it wasn't as "rural" as I had imagined. There are more remote districts, where the subway network doesn't reach (but accessible by railway), which I'm hoping I'll visit some time soon.

@jinifith 6 месяцев назад

Yanfang Line and Fangshan Line will be merged in the future. Chinese taxis are run by LP gas, so taxi driver may have to stop by gas station with long distance travel.

@hong3170 Год назад

I see you are a metro fan. China is a good place for you just in this aspect.

@tottiwang4150 Год назад

Very interesting 😅

@longinchina Год назад

Thanks Totti!

@stvdmc2011 Год назад

Great adventure

@longinchina Год назад

It sure was!

@hong3170 Год назад

Beijing needs to speed up building express metro now.

@carkawalakhatulistiwa Год назад

Only new York subway in the world Made express line . Because normal pople just use computer line . at this distance. it's too expensive to make 2 more tunnels just for the suburbs

@user-ps5by1xh3r 8 месяцев назад

Line 19 just opened this year, similar route with line 4, much fewer stations. Line 17 is about to open.

@gtavstepfordcounty1733 10 месяцев назад

@feiwang6338 Год назад

good job

@longinchina Год назад

Thanks Fei!

@sgpleasure Год назад

Problem with subway is it stops at every station. Only if there was a solution where for certain train it can skip some stops so that it can reach destination further away faster.

@carkawalakhatulistiwa Год назад

Only new York subway do that 😂. You just use computer rel. For faster not use metro.

@stvdmc2011 Год назад

Build your private subway.

@gdkid 9 месяцев назад

Guangzhou Metro lines 14, 18, and 21 have bypass tracks at stations and also run express services. In the tunnel segments between stations, there are only two tracks unlike New York which usually has 4 tracks running the entire length of the express segments. At stations however, the local trains merge onto a branch track that goes into the station instead of the express trains merging onto a bypass track, which enables the express trains to pass through without slowing down to switch tracks. The express tracks themselves also pass behind a wall of advertisements facing the station platforms, which is why you'd never actually see the express trains if you were standing on the platform at a stop for local trains only

@derek1213 Год назад

Well made video! Is there a reason you started on the bottom left of the subway map?

@longinchina Год назад

Hey Derek. I wanted to cross the longest distance between two stations on the Beijing Subway, and they happened to be these two: Yanshan in the SW and Fengbo in NE. I could have ended the trip in Yanshan (instead of starting from it) but this station is super far from where I live, that I wanted to get it over with ASAP. haha!

@maneil9297 Год назад

What is the total length of Beijing subway ?? 1000km ??

@longinchina Год назад

Almost. Total length was 807 km by March 2023. The network is hitting 1000 km in 2025.

@stephenc6955 Год назад

12:05 -- $1.50 ?

@longinchina Год назад

Yup. Around that. 10 yuan.

@KinLee919 9 месяцев назад

Generally, public transportation is cheap in china. It's a service. Some cities even have free public transport day for every weekends or once every month.
