Wanpingcheng station^[1] (Chinese: 宛平城站; pinyin: Wǎnpíngchéng zhàn; lit. 'Wanping Fortress station') is a station on Line 16 of the Beijing Subway. It opened on 30 December 2023, and is the southern terminus of the line.^[2]

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.^[3] Due to engineering constraints, Line 14 was not able to have a station in Wanpingcheng.^[4] The closest station is Dawayao station.^[5]

In 2010, it was planned that the southern terminus for Line 16 would be Lugouqiao Xiaoyueyuan,^[6] but the plan was later changed and the line would terminate at Yushuzhuang station.^[7] Because of this, residents of Xiaoyueyuan petitioned for the line to terminate at Xiaoyueyuan, but it is unknown whether the plan was reinstated.^[5] In May 2011, the plan was changed, and the line was extended to Wanpingcheng.^[8]

On April 25, 2013, the design plan for Wanpingcheng station was published,^[9] and construction started in December 2013.^[10]
