Daxing line

The Daxing Line of the Beijing Subway (simplified Chinese: 北京地铁大兴线; traditional Chinese: 北京地鐵大興線; pinyin: Běijīng Dìtiě Dàxīng Xiàn) is a rapid transit line that connects the southern Daxing District of the city with the subway network. It extends Line 4 south from its southern terminus at Gongyixiqiao, on the 4th Ring Road in Fengtai District, to Tian'gongyuan, beyond the 6th Ring Road in Daxing District. The Daxing Line is about 21.76 km (13.52 mi) in length[3] with 18 km (11 mi) underground.[4][5] Daxing line contains 12 stations and is about 21.76 km (13.52 mi).[3] Initially, the Daxing line was planned to have 4 ground stations. However, due to lack of space, only Xihongmen was built above the surface.[6] Full-scale construction began in 2007 and the line was opened on 30 December 2010, 14:00 local time.[7]

Not to be confused with Daxing Airport Express.

Route and service

Though the Daxing Line is classified as a distinct line,[8] the Beijing MTR Corporation Limited operates through-train service on Lines 4 and Daxing, making the two lines effectively one line for travelers.^[b] With the opening of the Daxing Line on 30 December 2010, the Beijing MTR Corporation Limited now runs two types of train service on the combined Line 4-Daxing Line route:

• A full-route service that covers the entire Line 4 and Daxing Lines. This train service runs from Anheqiao North, the northern terminus of Line 4, to Tian'gongyuan, the southern terminus of the Daxing Line.
• A partial-route service that covers the entire Line 4 route plus one stop on the Daxing Line. This service runs from Anheqiao North to Xin'gong, the northernmost stop on the Daxing Line. Travelers wishing to proceed further south on the Daxing Line would have to switch to a south-bound full-route train.

Service routes

• Anheqiao North — Xin'gong (through service via Line 4)
• Anheqiao North — Tian'gongyuan (through service via Line 4)
