Design

AREP collaborated with China Railway Engineering Consulting Group designed this station in 2016.[3] The overall design philosophy is to blend the ancient and the modern, and the sea refuses no rivers. The curved roof and overhang eave represent the ancient style. The angled bents supporting frame and the simple and powerful geometric shape are full of modern technology.[4]

Many cultural elements are used in the station. On the roof, seven west-to-east sloping ridges are like seven ski runs. Equipment rooms in the waiting hall are decorated with mural and relievo reflecting the geographical and cultural features of Beijing.[4]
