Street Level

The Jingling Hutong Station stop, on the newly opened Line 4 of the Beijing Subway System. Above ground, at street level, this popular jumping-off point is a vibrant mix of retail and restaurant establisments set against a series of historic Hutongs -- the narrow traditional neighborhoods of Beijing's past -- which are themselves full of thriving businesses; despite being tucked behind the more modern frontage of 21st Century commercial ventures.

Jingling Hutong station is conveniently augmented by a number of electric-line Bus-routes interconnected with the stop.
