Dongzhimen is a transportation node in Beijing. The 2nd Ring Road currently links, albeit somewhat indirectly, with two roads which eventually become the Airport Expressway and China National Highway 101. A new flyover, and a new express road are being built that will connect directly with the Airport Expressway and is due within 2004. The Beijing subway network has a node stop at Dongzhimen, where Lines 2 and 13 connect. Line 13 has its eastern terminus at Dongzhimen. West of Dongzhimen is Guijie, Beijing, or "Food vessel street" (Dongzhimen Inner Street), extremely well-known to locals as a food street. The character for Gui (簋) refers to a round-mouthed bamboo container for food. The name is frequently mistaken for a similar sounding word, meaning "ghost", so some refer to the street as "Ghost street". East of Dongzhimen is Dongzhimen Outer Street, which connects with the Embassy area and ultimately to the 3rd Ring Road and the National Agricultural Exhibition Hall. Dongzhimen was also the site of one of the old city walls of Beijing. 1.5 km from Dongzhimen lies the nearby Sanlitun bar street, well-known to the expat community. Beijing
The anecdote is incorrect, and repeated frequently: West of Dongzhimen is Guijie, or "Ghost Street" (Dongzhimen Inner Street), extremely well-known to locals as a food street. The character (簋) really means something about food, not ghosts. They sound similar, but without familiarity with the mistake is often made.
