Beijing's newest subway line does not stop at the city line. It keeps rolling straight into Hebei, turning what used to be a commute into something that feels more like a local errand. That changes everything, not just for the people riding it, but for the very idea of where a city ends and where a region begins. On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun
