Finding the meeting points

How to find our meeting points for the hikes and trips in Beijing—addresses, maps, and more.

We have two standard pick up points for our Beijing-based group hikes and overnighters, and we occasionally organise hikes with pickups in Shunyi.

Quick version—for DiDi/ride hailing/maps, you can copy and paste these addresses:

  • For Liangmaqiao: 汇佳大厦-西门
  • For the Lido Hotel Starbucks: 星巴克(丽都店)

Our bus will usually first stop by the pickup point at the Liangmaqiao subway area, and then head on to the Lido Metropark Hotel Starbucks. But sometimes it’s the other way around!

Main meeting points

Tap or click the headings for more information, including area maps and map links, photos, taxi cards, and helpful hints.

Our vehicle and guides will wait on the side of the Third Ring Road near the Liangmaqiao subway station on Line 10.

Arriving by taxi or private vehicle

  • For DiDi/ride-hailing apps, copy and paste this address: 星巴克(丽都店)
  • Taxi drivers know the hotel as Lìdū Fàndiàn. The Starbucks is located by the square (called Lido Place / Lìdū Guāngchǎng) at the south-east of the hotel complex.
  • The address of the hotel is 6 Jiǎngtái Lù. Parking is available and will cost about ¥60 per day. There’s a shed to lock up your bike.
  • Download the taxi card to show your taxi driver or hotel staff.

Public bus

  • The closest major bus stop is Lìdū Fàndiàn Station. Search LiDuFanDian or 丽都店站 on www.bjbus.com.

Helpful hints

  • The Starbucks is at the other end of the building to the hotel lobby.
  • The Lido Place is over the road from the Nuo Hotel.
  • The Lido Metropark Holiday Inn lobby is to the left of the Crowne Plaza Beijing hotel.
  • We meet at the Starbucks Coffee at the Metropark Lido Hotel’s Lido Place, not the other branch by the Jenny Wang’s shop around the corner. If you can see a set of traffic lights, you’re at the wrong one!

Shunyi area meeting points

We occasionally organise hikes with pickup points in Shunyi.

Our vehicle and guides will find a place to park up near the front of the entrance to DD’s Market, on the north side of Guantang Square.

Map links

Arriving by taxi

  • For DiDi/ride-hailing apps, copy and paste this address for the north gate of Guantang Square: 观唐广场-北门

Helpful hints

  • DD’s Market is close to Beijing Riviera and Quanfa Garden.
  • The gas station just to the west of DD’s is a good landmark.
  • DD’s is a 20-30-minute walk from the Maquanying and Sunhe subway stations on Line 15. It’s probably easier to get here by taxi.

The bus will park on the road outside the carpark, and the guides will come into the Starbucks to find you.

Arriving by taxi

  • For DiDi/ride-hailing apps, copy and paste this address: 星巴克咖啡(北京荣祥广场站)
  • Taxi drivers know the plaza as Róng Xiáng Guǎng Chǎng / 荣祥广场. The Starbucks is located at the southwest end of the plaza (the Jenny Lou’s end).

Helpful hints

  • The Starbucks is located at the southwest end of the plaza.
  • We occasionally get stuck in traffic on the way out from Shunyi, which means we might arrive just before the scheduled departure time.
  • Pinnacle Plaza is a 20-30-minute walk from the National Exhibition Center subway station on Line 15. It’s probably easier to get here by taxi.
