Transportation:

How to get to the ICB from the Capital International Airport in Beijing?

1. Taking a taxi from the Capital International Airport to the ICB or Beijing Golden Dragon’s Pool Hotel, 120 Chinese dollars (or RMB yuan) needed;
2. Taking an airport-bus from the Capital International Airport, along the Gongzhufen Line, off the bus at Zhizhu Bridge, then walk to the ICB or Beijing Golden Dragon’s Pool Hote, 30 RMB yuan needed;
3. Taking the Subway in the Capital International Airport to go to Dongzhimen Terminal, then transfer to the Second Line to Fuxingmen Station, and then take a taxi or public bus to the South of Zhizhu Bridge or the North of Huayuan Bridge, where you are very close to above hotels. This approach is the cheapest, most complex, and challenging way.
