Guojia Tushuguan (National Library) station
Beijing Subway interchange station
Guojia Tushuguan (National Library) Station, also known as National Library station or Guojiɑ Tushuguɑn Zhɑn) is an interchange station on Line 4, Line 9 and Line 16 of the Beijing Subway. Its name is derived from the nearby National Library of China. The station features a double-island interchange layout, with Line 4 trains on the outside and Line 9 trains on the inside, which allows most riders to change lines simply by crossing the platform, instead of walking between levels. This configuration is known as cross-platform interchange.[2] The station handles 106,000 transfers between Lines 4 and 9 per day.[3] The platform for Line 16 is built under the Line 4 and Line 9 platform.[4] If the through service of Fangshan line to Line 9 is counted, which started on January 18, 2023, this would be the first four-line interchange on the Beijing Subway.
