Our walk begins on Diananmen Xidajie, outside Exit B of the Beihai North (Beihaibei) Subway Station on Line 6. This walk also makes an excellent combination with Beihai Park, located across the street from the metro stop. From the Metro Stop, face away from busy Diananmen Street, turn left, and head northwest along Longtoujing Jie. The street name translates as “Street of the Dragon Well,” and, yes, there was once a legendary magic well located on this lane. Truth in advertising.
