If you are lucky enough to have secured an early Beijing China travel package for the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympics then it is time to start planning how you will get around in the already over populated city. I can’t imagine how many people are going to flood this city by August 1. Like many cities, which use urban sprawl, Beijing China travel is based on an immense grid. There are six major roads, called ring roads that circle the city (Beijing-travel-guide.com). The most popular ring road is called Erhuan lu, look out for this one because it will take you to the majority of stops. The second most popular ring road is called Sanhuan Lu, which takes travelers to different sectors of Beijing.

Public transportation is and will especially be a must during Olympic, Beijing China travel. You will have the choice of subways, taxis, buses and trains. I expect that the areas surrounding the Olympics will have increased English speakers to help out the many American and English speaking visitors. The Chinese government has also stated that half as many cars will be allowed on the roads near the Olympic Games to lighten congestion and pollution.
