Overlooking Beijing｜Beijing on the Rails

The rail-transit network is just like the blood vessels of a city. At first Beijing had only one straight line and one circular line, but now its rail-transit network is like a colorful circuit board, creating a gigantic underground space in the city. The line connecting to the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center is cutting the city into two halves, and there are lines that bring residents to the suburbs as well. The rail-transit network has created an “one-hour life circle” for people in Beijing and changed people’s perception about time and space. When commuting via Beijing’s subway, have you ever noticed the sculptures engraved on the columns at the Fengtai Station? Have you felt the stylish central axis element along Subway Line 8? Let’s start our journey today and explore the parallel universe of Beijing beneath your feet.
