Name conflict

edit

This station had the same English name as a station on Line 15, also part of the Beijing Subway system. In Chinese this is not a problem as the station on Line 15 is called and one on the Batong Line is called , but the government policy in China 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]
