This option cost 3.5 Yuan and it's pretty good on and easy to reach. Take the subway line 2 (the blue line) to "Changchunjie station", it cost 2 Yuan. get out on the NORTH WEST EXIT, cross the road and then go to the inner lane from the right where you will see planty of people waiting for the bus, Don't worry most of them will not go with you on the same bus :). search for buses 661 and 662 and go aboard show, have a paper where it writen down the name "Dujiakan Roundabout" in Chinese and show it to the lady whom you gonna pay 1.5 Yuan for the ride. get of the the bus and you are now in a parrel street to the Highway, cross the street and on the lef turn on the roundabout to the direction of the tollgate with the blueroof, when you pass it you'll be on the highway stand close to the toll gate which is on the highway and you'll have a good spot hitchhiking from. sign is not a good idea and wave your hand from up to down.

Sleeping

• Leo hostel, close to Tiananmen, 5$ for a dorm.

If you head down the same street west there are two other youth hostels, slightly cheaper even but not so busy. For the closer one turn right at the bifurcation. It is about 5-10min walk from LEO.
