Hi,

I wonder if bus 919 from Deshengmen and tour bus from Qianmen share the same bus stop at Badaling. Some of us will use tour bus for Badaling and Ming Tomb, others use 919 for Badaling. We would like to meet at Badaling.

Thanks.

Thanks China Roamer for your advice.

NO...NOT THE SAME AT ALL!!! And I learnt through doing this myself and having the worst bus trip EVER~

On my Beijing page, if you go to the Tourist Trap section:

You will see what both buses you talk about offer! In fact the Badaling Wall and Ming tomb combination bus was really quite awful...please be aware of this!

Good luck and have a great trip whichever bus you decide to take! If you do take the no. 44 to Deshengmen as Chinaroamer just suggested, please remember, the 919 does not leave from Deshengmen bus station, it's a bit further east behind the old city gate where you'll find the bus direct to Badaling.
