What has amazed, indeed impressed me, has been the way the metro has been steadily constructed underground with minimum disruption to daily life on the surface. Impressive also are the new stations and well worth visiting just to see and appreciate the design. Some reflect the area they are located in. Large wall murals depict scenes, some historic such as Jishuitan, where there are reminders of the early boat trade on the nearby Shichahai Lake that once connected with the Grand Canal allowing essential food supplies from central China pass right into the centre of Beijing.
