As 'Qicai Pool' is not a real landmark in Beijing, it may be a misnomer. If referring to scenic areas like Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace or the Five-Colored Pond in Beihai Park, travel time from downtown Beijing ranges from 30 to 45 minutes. Take Line 4 Metro to Beigongmen or Xizhimen Station, then transfer to bus or walk—both sites are within 15 minutes on foot. Use Amap or Baidu Maps for real-time navigation and transit updates. Many attractions also offer shared e-bike services for convenient short-distance transfers.
