History

In 2009, Line 16 was among the 198 major urban planning projects listed by the city’s development and reform commission. At that time, Line 16 was slated to run about 35 km (22 mi) from Huilongguan in Changping District to Huaxiang in Fengtai.

According to the June 2010 plans, the northern section of Line 16 will replace the originally planned Line 4 northern extension and run 48 km (30 mi) from Bei'anhe in Haidian District south to Xiaoyueyuan near the Marco Polo Bridge in Fengtai District. The line would begin near Bei'anhe, and provide access to parts of Haidian, north of the foothills the Western Hills that extend into district. For this reason, that section of the line was also referred to as the Haidian Shanhou (literal translation Haidian Back Mountain) Line because it begins on the backside of the low-lying range that extends from the Fragrant Hills to the Summer Palace. Points of interest that the line may pass along route to Xiaoyueyuan in the south include the Summer Palace, Haidian Gymnasium, National Library, Purple Bamboo Park, Beijing Zoo, Chegongzhuang West Road, Sanlihe, Wanshou Temple, Lize Business District, and the Fengtai railway station. The proposal was scaled back with the removal of the Haidian Shanhou section in December 2010. Reducing the line to just 23 km (14 mi), from Suzhoujie to Wanping, but the northern section was subsequently restored months later, bringing the line length 49 km (30 mi).

The Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning released the plans for several subway stations in 2013. Construction of the line began in December 2013.

The northern section of the line from Bei'anhe to Xiyuan, except for Nongdananlu Station, opened at the end of 2016. Nongdananlu station opened on December 30, 2017.
