- 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...
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
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!!!!
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!
Incredible cheap fares ... thks for sharing
100 km only cost about 1.5 us dollars unbelieveable. In NYC I think the subway fare is 3 dollars .
I enjoyed it as much as you did. 😆
Haha! Glad you did.
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.
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
Thanks for filming Houshayu, my home station!
Very nice journey!
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.
Thank you! It was actually one of the funnest videos to film - and a favorite of mine to this day.
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!
I enjoyed it alot . Good work bruh and keep going.
Lovely journey❤
I LOOOVEE this videos !! :D Thank you !
Bro keep doing the amazing great content 💯 so proud of you man
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).
It is true people in Beijing talk about long distance relationship even they live in the same city.
Haha. It's a big city.
it's probably because of work hours than distance, or combination of both.
Beijing needs to speed up building express metro now.
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
Line 19 just opened this year, similar route with line 4, much fewer stations. Line 17 is about to open.
very nice indeed
Thank you!
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.
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.
Very interesting 😅
Thanks Totti!
I see you are a metro fan. China is a good place for you just in this aspect.
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.
Great adventure
It sure was!
Lol this music makes me think of those doj videos on jeff favignanos channel 🤣
good job
Thanks Fei!
Well made video! Is there a reason you started on the bottom left of the subway map?
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!
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.
Only new York subway do that 😂. You just use computer rel. For faster not use metro.
Build your private subway.
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
👍👍
I don't think everyone else was doing the same adventure :(
Probably not...
😂ur Asian squat
What is the total length of Beijing subway ?? 1000km ??
Almost. Total length was 807 km by March 2023. The network is hitting 1000 km in 2025.

Im Lebanese born in Connecticut. What do u do in China? , besides ride the subway aimlessly
Good to know. Big Lebanese community in Connecticut? I work in Beijing.
@@longinchina there was in 60s, 70s, 80s. But the Maronite churches are basically abandoned now. The Maronite priests aren't as effective as rabbis or imams
!!
12:05 -- $1.50 ?
Yup. Around that. 10 yuan.
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.

You like breathing in your own carbon when you don't have to wear a mask
1$ for that journey, socialism looks great!
Interesting
