Sorry, you can't walk to Changling mausoleum because Changling metro station is 8km away from it. You have to take taxi to the scenic area. As I know, there is no luggage storage place in metro station. Maybe you can ask the staff in Changling mausoleum.

You can take metro line 4 to North Square station and transfer to airport express to the airport.

Answered by nizam_mr from MALAYSIA | Jan. 05, 2020 18:00

Update to everyone:
Line4 and Line13 Beikezhan-North platform is side by side, but you have to get the elevator down-and-up to interchange. To get to Line2 BEikezhan however, you have to exist this 'extended' station to get to SpeedRailway station, and Line2 station is a floor below (Line2 and Line4/13 are not transferable because you need to exit-reenter the ticket gantry system, but they are physically connected with some walk)
