Beijing subway lines

I have some guidebooks for Beijing with subway maps but I think some of them are out-of-date.

Have some lines opened recently (presumably ahead of the Olympics)? I will be in Beijing towards the end of May and I am trying to work out how best to get round the city.

Please can someone give me a quick rundown on how many lines there are open (so I can see if I have a recent enough map) or a link to a current online map.

Thanks for your help.

This is an excellent map, but missing the new line 5: beijingtraveltips.com/transport/subway/maps/鈥?/a>

www.urbanrail.net/as/beij/beijing-map.gif has a more up-to-date map, but with less details. http://www.urbanrail.net/as/beij/beijing.htm has more information about the progress of Beijing%26#39;s metro system.

You get a direct feeling of beijing metro.

I am happy you can take metro to help us to reduce the traffic jam problem and better air condition in beijing.

Refer also to my other forum post, you know more about beijing subway.

It is clean and modern.

Have a nice trip in Beijing.

Thank you very much for the links and information. They are very helpful.

I am more than happy to use to subway and want to see this as a good way to get around Beijing. I am much clearer now which lines will be open when I am in Beijing towards the end of May.

The subway looks easy to use although I%26#39;m sure there will be a bit of confusion at some point (as there inevitably is using any suway system for the first time!)
