Create symbolic directory

How do you make a symbolic link from a directory to a directory?

I've scoured google for a straight forward answer but all examples are either for file links or kind of hand wave around how you make a directory symbolically link to another one.

Want one of those great straight up stackoverflow answers to this that will hopefully drowned out all the rest of the cruft out there.

You do it just the same as linking to a file, ln -s. 

$ mkdir testdir
$ touch testdir/file
$ ln -s testdir otherdir
$ ls otherdir
file
$
