Looking for Hotel in Beijing

[Guest ShaQuaNew]

 

"same general area" well our hotel was very near the old Beijing Railway Station, when we got on the subway to TM Square it took about 10-15 minutes going west, as you know FC is across the street from TM Square. When we went to Birds Nest the subway ride was 30 -40 minutes, to the north, TM Square is to the west, so I only write this to discern the definition of "near" they are not near to me but to someone else maybe could be...

 

 

This was about a 10-15 minute WALK for us (Chongwenmen - next station to the Railway station - to Tiananmen). But, like they say, your mileage may vary

The Bird's Nest and the Forbidden City are separated by about 5-6 miles. That's a long walk, or relatively quick ride by cab, bus, or train.

Nothing has changed, subway was 30 -40 minutes, not a terrible ride, but if crowded then not so pleasant, bus would be longer than subway

Yes nothing changed. You stayed east of FC and south of OV. 15-20 min from FC and 30-40 min from OV.

 

The Best Hotel and Hutong area is north of FC and south of OV hence the distance to both is about the same 15-20 min by cab or subway....
