The China National Highways of Beijing article focuses on Beijing, as a transportation hub of China, is the starting point for eleven of the twelve series-100 China National Highways. These are major (some toll) truck routes, primarily intended to connect Beijing with the rest of China.
China National Highway 112, despite being a series-100 China National Highway, does not begin Beijing, but begins in Gaobeidian and forms a long ring route.
The G in front of the highway route numbers stands for 国 (pinyin: guo), meaning nation or country.

Famous quotes containing the words china, national and/or highways:
“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“It is not unkind to say, from the standpoint of scenery alone, that if many, and indeed most, of our American national parks were to be set down on the continent of Europe thousands of Americans would journey all the way across the ocean in order to see their beauties.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
