How to reach ISCAS
The easiest way to reach ISCAS is by subway, since it is cheap and time efficient; you can also ride a taxi, but remember that at rush hours, it is very likely you will be part of the traffic jam. We suggest to use the subway, ISCAS is at short walking distance from the Zhichunlu (知春路) subway station, exchange station between line 10 and line 13 of the Beijing Metro.

Buy a single trip ticket to Sanyuanqiao (三元桥) from the automatic vending machines for 25 RMB, pass the security check and then get on the Beijing capital express train. Once you arrive at Sanyuanqiao (三元桥), get off the train and follow the signs to change to line 10. Before accessing line 10, you need to buy a new subway ticket from Sanyuanqiao (三元桥) to Zhichunlu (知春路) from the automatic vending machines, for 4 RMB. Done this, get on the counter-clockwise train having Taiyanggong (太阳宫) as next stop and get off at Zhichunlu (知春路).
