China National Highway 101 is a major trunk route connecting Beijing to Shenyang, Liaoning. In Beijing it is known as Jingshun Road () or Jingmi Road () for connecting central Beijing to Shunyi District and Miyun District, although the actual road also connects Huairou District within Beijing and goes beyond Beijing as a major throughfare to Northern and Northeastern China.
It leaves Beijing at Dongzhimen and heads for Sanyuanqiao, running alongside the Airport Expressway<sup>:185</sup> 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.
Note: Only connections to important city roads, expressways and other China National Highways (G level) are listed.
The national highway system uses the letter "G" (from guójiÃÂ, å½) followed by three digits. Routes numbered 101âÂÂ112 emanate clockwise from Beijing.
While not always an expressway, G101 is often dual carriageway outside urban zones and enforces speed limits up to 100â¯km/h. Tolls apply in certain sections, particularly those co-located with expressways.
