Guanzhuang station[2] (simplified Chinese: 关庄站; traditional Chinese: 關莊站; pinyin: Guānzhuāng zhàn) is a station on Line 15 of the Beijing Subway.[3] It was opened on December 28, 2014.[4]

Name conflict

This station had the same English name as a station on the Batong line, also part of the Beijing Subway system. In Chinese this is not a problem as the station on Line 15 is called and the one on the Batong Line is called , but the government policy is to create English names from the pinyin transliteration of Chinese language, but without the tone markers; thus 关庄 (Guānzhuāng) and 管庄 (Guǎnzhuāng) are both rendered as Guanzhuang, making them look identical.

In December 2019, the 管庄 (Guǎnzhuāng) station on Batong line changed spelling to Guaanzhuang.[1]
