The clearest map of Beijing’s Subway.
In a city that’s as big as Beijing, it helps to get a bit of clarity and the information you need to travel the subway in confidence. Find the quickest routes to work, simplify your journey home and get to new places in the city without the stress. Mapway combines step-by-step guides with highlights on the map so you’ll never go wrong. If geographic maps are more your thing, easily switch to see the network on one of these instead.
Journey Planner
When there are so many subway lines and transfer stations, it’s not always obvious which route to take. So tell the app your start and end point and let Beijing Subway do the planning for you. Immediately get the quickest and the easiest routes as well as the total journey time and number of changes.
Bilingual Map
Inspired by the famous London Tube Map, we’ve designed a map that’s clear and easy to read. And to keep up with a subway system that’s always changing, we’ve developed technology that allows us to push the latest map to the app without the need for an update, so you can always be confident that it is up to date. Spend less time feeling lost and more time relaxing, exploring and seeing the sights of Beijing.

Nearest Station
In a city as dense as Beijing it’s easy to feel a little lost. But don’t worry! Let Mapway lend a hand. Use the Locate Me arrow to automatically select your closest metro station. Every time you search for a station your nearest will always be displayed to make it easy to find the one you want.
– Travel Tip –
Subway stations are marked by large blue signs which feature a capital B (this looks like a D) inside a circle. The station names are written in Chinese and English.

Security checks are a common part of transit in Beijing so don’t be worried, if your bag gets X-rayed on the way into the subway.
