Not a bad option but not for the heavily laden-of-luggage. Total cost about RMB 60-ish. Assuming you get a taxi fairly quickly from Dongzhimen, probably overall quicker travel time than options 1 or 3. .
The plane lands at 12:10pm at PEK, on sunday. I guess the sunday afternoon won't be that crowded. I'm planning to carry a medium size baggage, just one. Not light but not that heavy.

that could be a problem, I'll be think about it.

Thanks.
