Wangjingxi station[1][2] (Chinese: 望京西站; pinyin: Wàngjīngxī zhàn) is an interchange station between Lines 13, 15 and 17 on the Beijing Subway. It was the western terminus of Line 15 until it was extended west to Qinghua Donglu Xikou on December 28, 2014.

History

Original dual-island line 13 platforms in May 2010. These platforms are filled up now.

Wangjingxi was originally going to be the terminus for the Capital Airport Express, so when the station was built in 2003, it was designed with dual-island platforms.[3] Due to the Capital Airport Express instead terminating at Dongzhimen, the reserved platforms for the Capital Airport Express were never used and track was never laid down. In late 2010, the unused tracks were filled when line 15 started serving the station.[4]

On December 18, 2023, Beijing MTR announced that the Line 17 station will not open with the rest of the northern section of the line due to construction of the integrated transport hub.[5] The station opened on January 31, 2026.[6]

Station layout

The line 13 station has 2 at-grade side platforms. The line 15 and line 17 stations have underground island platforms.
