This Metro line connects all the important places of interest including the Capital Airport, Beijing Main Station, Summer Palace, Dragon Temple Street … famous for its cosmopolitan clothing stores, with the new subway being right at the main entrance.

The hostel is within walking distance from the Forbidden City's North entrance and the famous JingShan park, where from the hill-top pagoda you can see amazing views over the Forbidden City. Within the park you can also usually find traditional Chinese activities, such as Tai Qi/Kung Fu practice, traditional dancing, singing and music. By entering the Forbidden City by the North gate and leaving through the South gate you arrive at Tiananmen Square and the new Qianmen pedestrian street.
