Xizhimen station[1] (simplified Chinese: 西直门站; traditional Chinese: 西直門站; pinyin: Xīzhímén zhàn) is an interchange station for Line 2, Line 4 and Line 13 of the Beijing Subway. Just outside this station is Beijing North railway station.[2] Line 2 opened on September 20, 1984; Line 13 opened on January 28, 2003; and Line 4 opened on September 28, 2009. With the addition of Line 13 and Line 4, Xizhi Men Station became the second 3-way transfer station (the first was Dongzhimen Station, being the intersection of Line 2, Line 13, and Airport Express). With a peak daily ridership of over 770,000 passengers,[3] Xizhi Men Station is also one of the most crowded stations of the whole Beijing Subway system. It sees over 170,000 transfers per day between the 3 lines serving the station.[4]
Transfer
Lines 2 and 4 are very close together, offering short but potentially crowded transfers. The walk from Lines 2 and 4 to Line 13 is considerably further. The transfer between Lines 2 and 13 once required 15 minutes to complete during rush hours.[5] In 2011, this station was rebuilt to reduce the transfer distance to about 170 m (560 ft) long.[6][7]
Station layout
Lines 2 and 4 both have underground island platforms. Line 13 has elevated side platforms using the spanish solution.
Exits
There are six exits, lettered A, B, C, D, E, and F. Exits C and F are accessible.
