 Yancun East

The Fangshan Line of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁房山线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě fángshān xiàn) is a subway line in western Beijing that runs from Yancun East in Fangshan District north and east to Guogongzhuang in Fengtai District. The line is 25.40 km (15.78 mi) long, has 12 stations (10 surface; 2 underground) and opened on December 31, 2010. The most recent expansion of the line came on December 30, 2017 with the opening of the section from Suzhuang to Yancun East. The line is mainly elevated. It allows residents of Beijing's western suburbs to connect to the rest of the Beijing Subway network.

The line will be extended further north to the southwest corner of the Third Ring Road, and will connect with Line 10 at Shoujingmao and with Line 16 at Fengyiqiao South.

The Fangshan Line starts at Yancun East, just west of the East Yancun Bridge, where it interchanges with the Yanfang Line. Previously, it started at Suzhuang which is located at the intersection of Changhong Xi Lu and Suzhuang Dajie in the Liangxiang section of Fangshan District. The line makes four stops in Liangxiang including at the Fangshan Campus of the Beijing Institute of Technology. The line then heads north to the towns of Guangyang and Changyang. After crossing the Yongding River, the Fangshan Line enters Fengtai District where the line makes its two most northern stops, at Dabaotai near the Beijing World Park, and at Guogongzhuang, also the southern terminus of Line 9.

From Guogongzhuang, where the line currently terminates, the Fangshan Line will be extended further to the northeast for 4.6 km (2.9 mi) to the southwest corner of the Third Ring Road.[2] The line will have four additional stations—Xibaijiayao (西白家窑), Sihuanlu (四环路), Shoujingmao (Capital University of Economics) (首经贸) and Fengyiqiao South (丰益桥南), and will connect with Line 10 at Shoujingmao and with Line 16 at Fengyiqiao South.[2]

History

Construction of the Fangshan Line was originally set to begin in 2012[4] but was moved up to April 1, 2009 to use stimulus funding provided by the government to counter the Financial Crisis of 2007-08.[3] On April 1, 2009 eleven station names were initially unveiled,[3] but most of the stations were subsequently renamed on March 23, 2010.[5]

On December 30, 2010, the line began operating from Suzhuang to Dabaotai, but was not connected to any other line of the subway system. One year later, on December 31, 2011, the Dabaotai to the Guogongzhuang section opened, linking the Fangshan Line with Line 9 and the rest of the subway network.
