==Transportations of Beijing ==

Beijing, as the capital and political of centre of China, covers more than 16,000 km2 and has the residents believed more than 20 million. As a transportation hub of nine Expressways, eleven National Highways, eight major railway lines reaching out to most directions of China, even out China far to Moscow, and the airlines connecting Beijing with almost every country in the world and most major cities domestic and abroad, Beijing has a sophisticated transportation cobweb of 6 ring roads, horizontal and vertical city roads, 9 lines of subway.
