Hi,Jade. Subway don't extend to Marco Polo Bridge. You can either take taxi or bus. Here is bus route: Get on bus 308 near the Military Museum and get off at Shawoqiao East. Then take 952 from Nanshawoqiao to Lugouxinqiao. Walk about 700m, you will reach Lugou Bridge.

Ms.Belinda. How much if by taxi? Thank you.

Ms.Belinda. After Marco Polo bridge, how can I get back to Wangfujing? Thank you.

Around CNY35 by taxi.
After Marco Polo Bridge, you should first take bus no. 213 from Lugouqiao Farm to Lugouxinqiao South (passing 3 stops).
And then take bus no. 693 from Xiaoyueyuanyili to Wukesongqiao South (passing 9 stops).
Then take subway line 1 from Wukesong to Wangfujing (passing 10 stops).

Ms.Belinda. Is this the best route from Marco Polo bridge back to Wangfujing? Thank you.

Yes, Ms.Jade, this is the easiest I know to go back to Wangfujing from Marco Polo Bridge, though complicated. Otherwise, you can take a taxi, it is easy but will cost more.

Thank you Belinda.

Ms.Belinda. Which subway station is the nearest to Bell & Drum Towers? Thank you.

Gulou Dajie Station of Subway Line 2 is the nearest to Bell&Drum Towers, Ms.Jade.

Ms.Belinda. Thanks alot for the useful info.

I'll be in Beijing next month for 8days. Which travel card is highly recommended - Smart Card OR Tourist Special Smart Card?
For the Tourist Special Smart Card; is 3days meaning valid for 72hours or just counted as day-by-day basis?
Can the Tourist Special Smart Card be used to travel from the airport to downtown e.g. Wangfujing & vice-versa? xiexie。
