Dongzhimen

The Beijing subway network has a interchange station at Dongzhimen, where Lines 2, 13 and Capital Airport Express connect.

Buses numbered greater than 800 start from a long-distance bus station area, which serves a wide range of locations inside and outside of Beijing.

The character for Gui (簋) refers to a round-mouthed bamboo basket for food.

Connecting to the east of Dongzhimen is Dongzhimen Outer Street, which connects with the Northern Diplomatic Area and ultimately to the 3rd Ring Road as well as the National Agricultural Exhibition Hall.

1.5 km from Dongzhimen lies the nearby Sanlitun (三里屯) bar street, commonly frequented by the expat community located in the heart of Beijing's North Diplomatic Area.
