Dongcheng District and Chaoyang District have offered bike rental services. With an ID cardor passport and an all-purpose card (with at least RMB 30), tourists can rent a bicycle with a deposit of RMB 400.

The rental service is free of charge within an hour. For those exceeding 1 hour, RMB 1 is collected for every hour. But the highest toll for 24 hour is RMB 10. If someone fails to return the bike in 3 days, he / she will end up in the "black list", which might jeopardize one's future rental services to some extent.
