Line 14 of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁14号线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě shísì hàoxiàn) is a rapid transit rail line in the south and east of Beijing. As of December 28, 2014, the line consists of two discontinuous line segments. The first is 12.4 km in length with 7 stations, the second is 14.8 km in length with 10 stations, and is operated by the Beijing MTR Corp. Ltd.^[1]

The line is being extended to run across the southern and eastern fringes of urban Beijing from Zhangguozhuang west of the Yongding River in the southwest corner of the city to Shan'gezhuang in the northeast corner. When fully completed, Line 14 will be 47.7 km in length and have 36 stations.^[2]

The first phase of Line 14, from Zhanggezhuang to Xiju on the southwest corner of the Line 10 loop, opened on May 5, 2013. Most of Line 14's eastern portion opened December 28, 2014. The opening of the central portion of the line, from Xiju to Hongmiao, is expected to follow in 2015.^[2][3] Line 14 is the first metro line in Beijing to use high capacity wide-body A size trains.^[4][5]

Route

The precise route of Line 14 has been revised several times even after construction began.^[6] The line is designed to follow an inverted-L shaped route running from the southwestern corner of urban Beijing in Fengtai District to the northeastern corner in Chaoyang District. As of December 28, 2014, the two ends of Line 14 are operational while the central section is still under construction.

In the west, Line 14 begins at Zhangguozhuang on Yuanboyuan Nan Lu, west of the Yongding River. The line crosses the river to Zhangyi Village and enters the 5th Ring Road. Going due east on Fengtai Nan Lu, Line 14 passes by the Fengtai Sports Center, enters the 4th Ring Road and continues eastward on Fengtai Lu to Xiju on the Line 10 loop.

The central section, now under construction, will continue on Lize Lu inside the 3rd Ring Road and then meet Line 4 at the Beijing South Railway Station, the city’s high-speed rail terminus, near Yongdingmen. Going further east, the central section will cross Line 5 at Puhuangyu and follow the Pufang Lu through the Fangzhuang residential neighborhood. It will leave the 3rd Ring Road at Shilihe and continue eastward until it abruptly turns north at Xidawang Lu. The line will then run due north, between the eastern 3rd and 4th Ring Roads. After passing the Beijing University of Technology, the central section will cross Line 7 at Jiulongshan and Line 1, at Dawang Lu.

Further north, where Dawang Lu turns into Jintai Lu, the eastern section of Line 14 begins and runs due north, through the Chaoyang Park. Upon leaving the 4th Ring Road, Line 14 enters the vast Wangjing neighborhood. The line bisects Wangjing from south to north on Guangshun Nan and Bei Dajie and intersects with Line 15 at the heart of Wangjing. After leaving Wangjing, the line emerges north of the 5th Ring Road and terminates at Shan'gezhuang.^[3]
