By Bus
Beijing is without a doubt the largest junction of major roads in China, with twelve national highways radiating to the northeast, southeast, southwest, and south, and eight main expressways surrounding the city, totaling twenty thousand kilometers.

Nineteen bus stations in Beijing operate thousands of buses every day, to neighboring cities such as Datong, Chengde, and Tianjin, some departing hourly. TravelChinaGuide suggests that long-distance travelers should not choose buses, but short bus journeys can be memorable experiences.

Bus tickets can be purchased 3 to 5 days prior to your departure, upon your arrival at the station, or even after you board the bus, if it is out of season.
