Inside Line 16 trains

Construction began in December 2013. The northern section, from Bei'anhe to Xiyuan was opened on 31 December 2016.[2] An infill station, Nongda Nanlu was opened on December 30, 2017.[5] It extended to Ganjia Kou on 31 December 2020, and extended to Yuyuantan Park East Gate on 31 December 2021.

The line is operated by the Beijing MTR Corporation Limited and uses CNR Changchun DKZ93 and CSR Sifang SFM40 eight-car high-capacity wide-body Type A trains.[6] Line 16's color is dark-moderate green.

Route

The line starts at the west end of Beiqing Road (北清路) just outside of the 6th Ring Road and follows the road east to Yongfeng Road (永丰路) where it turns south towards the city. Line 16 follows Yongfeng Road south to Xiyuan, its former terminus. The line then continues south to the National Library and Yuyuantan Park East Gate.

History

In 2009, Line 16 was among the 198 major urban planning projects listed by the city’s development and reform commission.[7] At that time, Line 16 was slated to run about 35 km (22 mi) from Huilongguan in Changping District to Huaxiang in Fengtai District.[7]

According to the June 2010 plans, the northern section of Line 16 will replace the originally planned Line 4 northern extension and run 48 km (30 mi) from Beianhe in Haidian District south to Xiaoyueyuan near the Marco Polo Bridge in Fengtai District.[8] The line would begin near Beianhe, and provide access to parts of Haidian, north of the foothills the Western Hills that extend into district. For this reason, that section of the line was also referred to as the Haidian Shanhou (literal translation Haidian Back Mountain) Line because it begins on the backside of the low-lying range that extends from the Fragrant Hills to the Summer Palace.[8] Points of interest that the line may pass along route to Xiaoyueyuan in the south include the Summer Palace, Haidian Gymnasium, National Library, Purple Bamboo Park, Beijing Zoo, Chegongzhuang West Road, Sanlihe, Wanshou Temple, Lize Business District, and the Fengtai railway station.[8] The proposal was scaled back with the removal of the Haidian Shanhou section in December 2010, reducing the line to just 23 km (14 mi), from Suzhoujie to Wanping. But the northern section was subsequently restored months later, bringing the line length 49 km (30 mi).[9]

The Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning released the plans for several subway stations in 2013.[10] Construction of the line began in December 2013.[11]

The northern section, from Bei'anhe to Xi Yuan, except for Nongda Nanlu, opened on December 31, 2016.[2] Nongda Nanlu opened on December 30, 2017.[5] In April 2020, Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform decided to build an infill station on the southern section of Line 16: Yushuzhuang North.[12]

On December 31, 2020, the middle section from Xi Yuan to Ganjia Kou opened.[3] (Suzhou Jie and Erligou stations were not opened)

On December 31, 2021, a one-station extension to Yuyuantan Park East Gate opened.
