It leaves Beijing at Dongzhimen and heads for Sanyuanqiao, running alongside the Airport Expressway[3]: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.[4]

The national highway system uses the letter "G" (from guójiā, 国) followed by three digits. Routes numbered 101–112 emanate clockwise from Beijing.[5][6][7]

Technical details

While not always an expressway, G101 is often dual carriageway outside urban zones and enforces speed limits up to 100 km/h. Tolls apply in certain sections, particularly those co-located with expressways.[6][7]
