The Daxing Line of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁大兴线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě dàxīng xiàn) is a rapid transit line that connects the southern Daxing District of the city with the subway network. It extends Line 4 south from its southern terminus at Majialou, on the 4th Ring Road in Fengtai District, to Nanzhao Lu, beyond the 6th Ring Road in Daxing District. The Daxing Line is about 21.7 km in length with 18 km underground.^[3][4] Of the 12 stations, only Xihongmen is above the surface.^[5] Full-scale construction began in 2007 and the line was opened on December 30, 2010, 14:00 local time.^[6]

Route & Service

Though the Daxing Line is classified as a distinct line,^[7] the Beijing MTR Corporation Limited operates through-train service on Lines 4 and Daxing, making the two lines effectively one line for travelers.^[b] With the opening of the Daxing Line on December 30, 2010, the Beijing MTR Corporation Limited now runs two types of train service on the combined Line 4-Daxing Line route:

• A full-route loop that covers the entire Line 4 and Daxing Lines. This train service runs from Anheqiao North, the northern terminus of Line 4, to Tiangongyuan, the southern terminus of the Daxing Line.
• A partial-route loop that covers the entire Line 4 route plus one stop on the Daxing Line. This service runs from Anheqiao North to Xingong, the northernmost stop on the newly opened Daxing Line. Travelers wishing to proceed further south on the Daxing Line would have to switch to a south-bound full-route service train.

Service routes

• Anheqiao North — Xingong (through service via Line 4)
• Anheqiao North — Tiangongyuan (through service via Line 4)
