All Beijing Subway lines in one trip. Can I do it?

[@greentraveler4114]

9 hours in subways there's crazy man, you did a great job, cheers bro.

[@longinchina]

Haha. Was a good day, until it stopped being fun. Thanks!

[@melodyhonh]

Big RESPECT to you. Great challenges physically and mentally, but you did really great job!

[@longinchina]

Awwwwy! Thanks Melody! It was definitely on the tougher side but quite the experience.

[@tototransports]

14:23 I saw some debate on the chinese internet, there is no clear regulations of Beijing Subway that don't allow you to film or take photos, so the guy has no base to tell you not to film

[@longinchina]

Thanks for letting me know. I normally have no issues filming inside the subway system, either in carriages or on platforms. I think he saw the camera and probably got spooked.

[@antpoojiangle5857]

Thank you so much for making this video. This is exactly what I've been looking for the past few years. Hopefully when things settle I can visit Beijing again and do something similar myself.

[@longinchina]

It'll be a great way to spend the day, just make sure to load up on food and water. Or try to take the time to find a convenience store within the subway system.

[@Stabilizer1071]

Not in Beijing now but glad to see the great improvements that Beijing subway system has made via your video and thanks a lot!

[@longinchina]

The subway network here just keeps getting bigger and bigger. It's amazing!

[@PicnicInNineHells]

I just saw this guy went through every place I activated for the first 20 years of my life.

[@xyyoung4326]

Nice video! I live in Chengdu, which is a large city in southwestern China, also has many subway lines, and I firmly want to do the same thing in my city. Maybe next year I will go to Beijing to study, and I can try Beijing subway. By the way, I watched this video on Bilibili first, and it already had 50 thousand views. You worth more clicks.

[@longinchina]

I wonder what it would be like in Chengdu. If I ever go down there, I might give the Chengdu metro a go. Would be fun to explore most of the city underground. You'll see me on B站 soon! 😁

[@longinchina]

Hello! I'm on B站: www.bilibili.com/video/BV18V4y1x7VZ?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0&vd_source=ff0611a4ef7ed9bf519ece54108de3fb Hope to see you there as well!

[@timmytumbler]

You might be referring to me, I did all the lines in Shanghai, but only the numbered lines, and only 17 of them so far, and took me 3 hours 20 minutes, your endeavour was far longer !!

[@longinchina]

Hi Tim! You were indeed the inspiration for this video. I'm still in awe at how methodical you were with the way you tackled the Shanghai network. I tried to find the shortest route between the lines but ended up spending the whole day jumping on and off trains. Hoping the next attempt would be less time-consuming.

[@paradoxlnteractive5861]

Very good video. I'm from Shenyang, China, and I traveled to Beijing two years ago. I have to say that the subway in Beijing is very huge. I met the morning peak and the evening peak, and it was very crazy at the end of the day, so I can know how hard you worked to make this video, haha.

[@longinchina]

I avoid certain subway lines around 8 a.m. and 5'ish/6 p.m. because they would be PACKED!! Thanks for recognizing the efforts I put in and for leaving a comment. Appreciate it!

[@mingjieyang9882]

It must be truly exhausted, but as a Beijinger, I absolutely love the video! Hope more people could see this

[@longinchina]

It was tiring towards the end, but someone had to do it! Haha.

[@reptongeek]

Not quite as exhausting as visiting all 470 stations. Which I'm guessing would be a two day trip, because I believe unlike NYC, it's not open 24 hours

[@ktx-y1c]

[@gunsumwong3948]

Thanks for an excellent video and doing the 9 hour 16 minute leg work for your viewers. Your experience is priceless to many Chinese people overseas who could only admire the scenery of your video. The Beijing metro is definitely huge and a testimony of the strength of the country. I enjoy your video immensely as I once drove from one end of France to the other over a distance of 750 miles in one day. It is the experience that makes one feel so small relative to the real world. It is a very important experience that can enrich one's vision about the world. Your video is the evidence that how hard China has been developing itself. I left Hong Kong in 1972 to study in UK. The data shows in 1972 China has just one metro system and it was in Beijing when UK has underground in two cities of London and Glasgow. Today UK has added metro to just one city in Newcastle upun Tyne but China managed to add metro to anther 50 cities, Metro is just one among the hundreds things China has developed massively. Thus you have gone to study at the right place while I went to the wrong place to study!

[@longinchina]

Thanks for your input. It's amazing you managed to cover such a long distance in the span of a single day! It seems like an unforgettable road trip. I love Beijing Metro because it offers an easy and convenient way to explore the city (and that speaks to my brand as a content creator). And while I haven't been around in the 70s, I have seen firsthand the network's expansion over the past 10 years, and it's nothing short of exciting.

[@bridicot]

You're so much fun to watch, and your video topics are always interesting. Keep up the great work, and make sure to take a break and treat yourself to some yummy Chinese food every now and then.

[@longinchina]

Thanks! This one was close to my heart and is still one of my favorite videos. I hope I can replicate it in other cities, in and out of China.

[@bingli2396]

I think most of the locals wont get the chance to see every single line, impressive! And as a half local (grown up there, left 8 years ago), this journey actually means A LOT, really really enjoy this video!

[@longinchina]

Thank you Bing for this comment. Many of these lines I won't visit again, especially the ones deep in the suburbs. But it was a fun adventure.

[@ShawnTVofficial]

Great video！！！ its so underrated.

[@longinchina]

Wow great video! The last time that I took the Beijing subway was the 2 RMB all-you-can-go era. I remember a line through NanLuoGuXiang南锣鼓巷 was still under construction

[@longinchina]

Those were the good times. Haha. The flat fare era ended in 2015 when you started to pay according to the distance traveled. The day I filmed, I paid 8 yuan for my journey inside the subway system + 2 yuan for Xijiao line (a light rail which is part of the network but operates outside of it via a transfer station) + 3 yuan in fines for staying beyond the 4 hours time limit in the metro system. 13 yuan (∼2 USD) is a pretty cheap adventure!

When I visited Beijing 20 years ago, I could get around the city by bus only.

How was traffic then? I rarely take the bus because I can't deal with the sheer number of cars on the streets.

[@randomname931]

Compared to nyc subway, clean, safe, no homeless, and barriers in every station. Are the stations air conditioned?

I think the stations have a ventilation system and are climate controlled. You don't freeze in winter or sweat in summer.

[@xw3132]

I don't think it's bad. A lot of locals (especially the subway workers) barely speak English, and they are more likely to understand Pinyin than English even if the pronunciation of Pinyin is a little off. For example, "Guojia Tushuguan" is way more intelligible than "National library" for the locals. Let alone most station names doesn't mean anything significant. “巴沟“=”Ba Brooks“, "苏州街"="Suzhou Street", "三元桥"="Sanyuan Bridge"? I don't think that's a smart idea.
