Tongyan Expressway stretches all the way to Yanjiao, offering a scenic blend of urban skylines and countryside vistas. Time your drive for sunrise or sunset to witness breathtaking colors painting the horizon. Pro tip: Factor in extra travel time as this route can get busy, but that’s part of experiencing Beijing’s dynamic pulse!
