Belt & Road Food Fest FAQs & Getting to Langyuan Station
The Belt & Road Food Fest is only two days away, with everything kicking off Sunday (Sep 15) at 11am! So, with that in mind, here are the answers to some FAQs about the fest.
How do I buy tickets?
You can buy early bird tickets by scanning the QR code below. They’re RMB 19.9 for one standard ticket.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Yes, you can buy tickets at the door. They’re RMB 29.9 for one standard ticket.
What is included in the tickets?

How do I find my ticket after I’ve bought it and how do I get into the festival?

How do I get to the festival?
Ride Hailing App
If you’re using a ride hailing app, simply type in Langyuan Station (郎园Station) and it’ll be the first option.
Taxi
If you’re taking a taxi, just show your driver this address: 朝阳区半截塔路53号郎园Station.
Subway
The nearest subway station is Line 14’s 将台站Jiangtai station. But please note that it is not that close and you'll need to grab a share bike or else walk from there, so we wouldn’t really recommend it.
However, if you really do want to save that yuan, you can go out Exit B and ride a sharebike to Langyuan Station’s West Gate. It's about a 14-minute ride, taking 将台路 Jiangtai Lu eastbound until it becomes 将台东路 Jiangtai Donglu, then turning south into Jiangfu Park and riding until you reach Langyuan Station’s West Gate.
Remember, there are a number of locations with the name Langyuan 郎园. The venue for this fest is 郎园Station, not any of the following:
