Tips for traveling by S2 trains:

1. The S2 trains stop in Huangtudian Railway Station in downtown Beijing. It is close to Huoying subway station along subway line 8 and line 13.

2. The tickets cannot be booked online or bought in advance. It is advised to go to Huangtudian early, especially when traveling in a peak season.

3. Seats on the train are not numbered. Passengers should get on as quickly as possible. Otherwise, no seat will be left and they may need to stand all the way to the destination.

4. Passengers holding a Transportation Smart Card with a balance of more than CNY 16 can take this train by swiping the card. No paper ticket will be required then. The transportation card can be bought at many subway stations in Beijing.

We have an unforgettable experience in Xian, Chengdu and Chongqing. We booked all train tickets with TravelChinaGuide and received the paper tickets once we arrived at our hotel in Xian. Their service was efficient and swift. It was wise to choose such a reliable and responsiable travel agency.

I thank you for all the effort you have already done for us. We had a lovely journey in China. The Chinese people are very good in creating magnificent landscape, like the Great Wall and Terra-Cotta Warriors. My parents were very impressed by the ancient buildings in Xian and Beijing. Hope we can get back to you next time and visit China again.

I think there is no such limited. Seat can be fully occupied but you can still stand in the train.

Inquiry about from beijing airport to badaling great wall
Dear Sir/Madam,
My partner and I are will have a layover for 8 hours at beijing airport. It will be our first time to China.
Could I ask for some help as to how we can arrange from the airport to the greatwall by using the train service. Is it possible to buy the transportation smart card in beijing?
Can I ask also if possible for a time schedule with the trains. We arrive on 29th september at 9.45am and our flight goes again at 18,40pm.
Thank you very much for your help it is our dream to see the incredible great wall in our life once.

Personally speaking, I think 8 hours layover is not enough for visiting great wall by public transfer. Except the time you need to finish the transfer process at airport, you need at least 1 hour to go to train station and then about 1.5 hour on the way. You may only reach their around 2pm. To catch your flight, you may need to back at around 5:00pm. So you would have only 3 hours for visiting and on the way back to airport. If you do want to arrange this trip, you may need to rent a car instead.

There are many ways. For example, you can take metro from downtown to Zhuxinzhuang metro station, exit B2. There are express bus to Expo directly running around every 30min. You can also choose to go to Huangtudian railway station from downtown first and then take S2 train to Yanqing. Then use shuttle bus there to Expo. You can also choose to go to Drshengmen to take city bus 919 to Dong Xing Yuan and then change to shuttle bus to Expo.

No exact idea about the S train. But I got the information from website, that shows the train is available every 1.5 hour from 06:30 to 21:30. Hope this is useful for you.
