Wanpingcheng station[2] is a station on Line 16 of the Beijing Subway. It opened on 30 December 2023, and is the southern terminus of the line.[3]
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.[4] Due to engineering constraints, Line 14 was not able to have a station in Wanpingcheng.[5] The closest station is Dawayao station.[6]
In 2010, it was planned that the southern terminus for Line 16 would be Lugouqiao Xiaoyueyuan,[7] but the plan was later changed and the line would terminate at Yushuzhuang station.[8] Because of this, residents of Xiaoyueyuan petitioned for the line to terminate at Xiaoyueyuan, but it is unknown whether the plan was reinstated.[6] In May 2011, the plan was changed, and the line was extended to Wanpingcheng.[9]
On April 25, 2013, the design plan for Wanpingcheng station was published,[10] and construction started in December 2013.[11]
The station has an underground island platform. There are 3 exits, lettered C1, C2 and D. Currently only exits C1 and D are operational. Exits C1 and D lead to the north side of Lugouqiao South Road, and C2 to the south side of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway. Exit C1 is accessible.
