Jintai Xizhao station[1] (Chinese: 金台夕照站; pinyin: Jīntái Xīzhào Zhàn; lit. 'The Golden Terrace in the Glow of the Setting Sun[2]') is a subway station on Line 10 of the Beijing Subway. It is located along East 3rd Ring Road Middle between China National Highway 102, known as Chaoyangmen Outer Street to the west of the 3rd Ring Road and Chaoyang Road to the east, and Guanghua Road.
Name
The name originated from one of the Eight Sights of Yanjing. Jintai Xizhao literally means The Golden Terrace in the Glow of the Setting Sun.[2] In 2002, a stone tablet of Jintai Xizhao written by Qianlong Emperor was unearthed under the Jingguang Building. The stone tablet was placed near the building now. The Beijing Subway station was named after the stone tablet when the first phase of Line 10 was opened in 2008.[3]
