China National Highway 101


China National Highway 101 is a major trunk route connecting Beijing to Shenyang, Liaoning. In Beijing it is known as Jingshun Road or Jingmi Road for connecting central Beijing to Shunyi District and Miyun District, although the actual road also connects Huairou District within Beijing and goes beyond Beijing as a major throughfare to Northern and Northeastern China.
It leaves Beijing at Dongzhimen and heads for Sanyuanqiao, running alongside the Airport Expressway:185 until Beigao, and then continues north while leaning toward the Jingcheng Expressway. Parts of Jingmi Road within Beijing are being renovated as an expressway separate from the national highway.
