For some quiet fun

Hop on the bullet train from Beijing South Railway Station and within 20 minutes, you will be transported to another world - tranquil yet exciting. Sun Ye takes you there.

Tired of the crowds in Beijing? Get on a bullet train to a place that reminds one of a quiet farming town and a romantic Italian riverside county.

Wuqing, a 20-minute train ride from Beijing and 10-minute ride from Tianjin, is ideal for a day trip from the two metropolises. The earliest train departs at 6:45 am from Beijing South station; 20 others follow throughout the day.
