China National Highway 101 is a major trunk route connecting Beijing to Shenyang, Liaoning. In Beijing it is known as Jingshun Road (Chinese: 京顺路) or Jingmi Road (Chinese: 京密路) for connecting central Beijing to Shunyi District and Miyun District, although the actual road goes far beyond these two locations.

It leaves Beijing at Dongzhimen and heads for Sanyuanqiao, running alongside the Airport Expressway until Beigao, and then continues north while leaning toward the Jingcheng Expressway.

Major Connections

Note: Only connections to important city roads, expressways and other China National Highways (G level) are listed.

Route identification and numbering

The national highway system uses the letter "G" (from guójiā, 国) followed by three digits. Routes numbered 101–112 emanate clockwise from Beijing.[1][2]

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.[1][2]
