Tian'anmen East Station (simplified Chinese: 天安门东站; traditional Chinese: 天安門東站; pinyin: Tiān'ānmén Dōng Zhàn) is a station on Line 1 of the Beijing Subway. It provides the most direct access to many Beijing tourist sites, including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum of China.

Location

The station is located on the eastern side of Tian'anmen Square and next to the north entrance of the National Museum of China. During major events hosted on the square itself, Tian'anmen West and Qianmen are occasionally closed in conjunction with this station.[1][2][3][4][5]
