History

Line 14 was supposed to come to Wanpingcheng area, but in 2008, the line was rerouted, so the residents of Wanpingcheng area signed a petition for Line 14 to come to Wanpingcheng.[2] Due to engineering constraints, Line 14 was not able to have a station in Wanpingcheng.[3] The closest station is Dawayao station.[4]

In 2010, it was planned that the southern terminus for Line 16 would be Lugouqiao Xiaoyueyuan,[5] but the plan was later changed and the line would terminate at Yushuzhuang station.[6] Because of this, residents of Xiaoyueyuan petitioned for the line to terminate at Xiaoyueyuan, but it is unknown whether the plan was reinstated.[4] In May 2011, the plan was changed, and the line was extended to Wanpingcheng.[7]

On April 25, 2013, the design plan for Wanpingcheng station was published,[8] and construction started in December 2013.[9] The station will open in 2021.[1]
