History
The station opened for passenger trial operation on 30 December 2017, concurrent with the opening of the rest of Line 17. During the planning and construction stages, the station was named China Exposition North (simplified Chinese: 中国博览会北; traditional Chinese: 中國博覽會北; pinyin: Zhōngguóbólǎnhuìběi), so named because it is located north of the National Convention and Exhibition Center.[2]
Station description
Like all stations on
The station itself is located in the eastern part of
The station is known for its design elements. An 88-metre (289 ft) long mural fills the entire length of the concourse. Although an underground station, sunshine flows easily to the platform level via a panoramic sunroof, which covers the entire ceiling. The single island platform is 23 metres (75 ft) wide, and unlike other island platforms, there are no support columns along the middle of the platform. These columns were instead placed between the platform and the tracks, also serving as pilasters for the platform screen doors.[5] Porcelain art pieces are on display between the platform screen doors.[6]
In July 2018 the station won the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver prize, the most widely used green building rating system in the world, making it the first of all Metro stations in Asia to win the title.[7]
