At first it heads west, passing through the 4th Ring Road at Yuegezhuang, and then approaches a heavily industrialized area, the Xidaokou area near Shougang. On the way out of Beijing the expressway passes through the famous Luguoqiao area, home of the Marco Polo Bridge and Wanping, marking where the Second Sino-Japanese War began in 1937.
