Officially launched on August 9, 2012,[2] the installation of automatic platform gates on the station was finished on September 2012.[3]
Name conflict
This station has the same English name as a station on Line 15, also part of the Beijing Subway system. In Chinese this is not a problem as the station on Line 15 is called 关庄 and one on the Batong Line is called 管庄, but the government policy in China is to create English names from the pinyin transliteration of Chinese language, but without the tone markers; thus 关庄 (guānzhuāng) and 管庄 (guǎnzhuāng) are both rendered as Guanzhuang, making them look identical. In December 2019, the 管庄 (guǎnzhuāng) station on Batong line changed spelling to Guaan Zhuang.[1]
