Guaanzhuang station (simplified Chinese: 管庄站; traditional Chinese: 管莊站; pinyin: Guǎnzhuāng zhàn) is a station on the Batong line (through operation to Line 1) of the Beijing Subway, and is located in the Guanzhuang area (管庄地区) of Chaoyang District.

In future, it will be a transfer station with Line 22 (Pinggu line) which is currently under construction.

History

Guaanzhuang station opened on December 27, 2003. The installation of automatic platform gates started on August 9, 2012, and finished in September 2012.

Name conflict

This station had 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 Guaanzhuang.

Station layout

The station has 2 elevated side platforms.

Exits

There are 6 exits, lettered A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, and B2. Exits B1 and B2 are accessible.
