Huixinxijie Nankou Station (pinyin: Huìxīnxījiē Nánkǒu Zhàn) is a station on Line 5 and Line 10 of the Beijing Subway. The station handled a peak passenger traffic of 241,700 people on May 5, 2013.[1]

At this station, Line 10 uses side platforms on the upper underground level, while Line 5 uses a central platform a level beneath. The two platforms are at right angles. Line 10 passengers, especially those near the center of the train, have easy access to the stairs leading down to Line 5, while Line 5 riders headed for Line 10 need to choose their direction of travel first. The interchange is one of the easiest in use in the Beijing Subway network, but came at a price: above-ground road traffic had to be completely closed during the construction of the station.

The two parts of the stop opened separately: Line 5 and part of the concourse opened October 7, 2007, while the rest opened along with Line 10 on July 19, 2008.
