I think there is a ABTC lane, but I never get to use my ABTC card in China.

If I haven't mixed up the PEK terminals, CA has at least a business and a first lounge next to each other. When I was there last time, I was with two colleagues. Colleague A used his priority pass card to get into the first lounge. I used my CA Gold to guest Colleague B into CA business lounge. Colleague A came back to join us, but the business lounge was so packed we couldn't even find two adjacent empty seats. I ended up leaving Colleague B in the business lounge, and joined Colleague A in the first lounge (I also have priority pass). The first lounge was busy, but not as bad as the business lounge. The lounges were just crowded.
