how to take subway to Silk market from city central youth hostel near the Beijing railway station?

You can walk to reach Railway Station to take the subway line 2 to reach Jianguomen Station where you can change to line 1 to reach Yonganli Station. Get out of the station from Exit A and then you can easily find the direction boards to guide you to reach that market.

In my opinion, the best and the fastest method is to take a taxi because the distance between the two places is around 2.5km.

Thanks Sharon. We are in group of 5 so we do not want to take 2 taxis. By the way how to go to Panjiayuan antique market from beijing youth hostel near the train station there and also how to go to Yashow market using the subway. Tq.

To reach Panjiayuan, from your hotel, you still need to walk to BJ Railway Station where you can take the subway line 2 to reach Jianguomen Station. Then change to line 1 to reach Guomao Station and then change to line 10 to reach Panjiayuan Station directly. Get out of the station, you can easily find the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
To Yashow from your hotel, you still need the same transfer method to transfer to subway line 10 and then take the line 10 to reach Tuanjiehu Station. Get out of the station from Exit A and then walk along Gongren Tiyuchang North Road to reach Yashow Market.

China sunrise and sunset
Thanks Sharon. Hello, can anyone explain to me what time is the sunrise and sunset in Beijing in Mid October? Last 2 years while I was in Shanghai the sunset was at 4.30pm so I need to know about this situation. Can someone help. Tq.

At that time, the sunrise time is around 06:20 and for the sunset, it is around 17:40.
