From "Beijing's earliest" to "Asia's largest"
Beijing Fengtai Station, a century-old station located between the Southwest Third Ring Road and the Southwest Fourth Ring Road in Fengtai District, Beijing, was built in 1895 and was the first railway station in Beijing.
It has served many lines such as the old Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, and has provided services such as passenger and freight transportation, train marshalling and technical operations.
With the rapid development of capital city construction and railway, the related business undertaken by Fengtai Station was successively handed over to Beijing West Station, Fengtai West Station and other stations for handling. By 2010, all transportation business was suspended, and the reconstruction and expansion project was implemented in September 2018.
After 4 years of reconstruction and expansion, the 127-year-old century-old Beijing Fengtai Station opened with a new look on the 20th.
The reconstructed Beijing Fengtai Station has a construction area of about 400,000 square meters and can accommodate up to 14,000 people per hour. It is the largest railway hub passenger station in Asia, and also the first large-scale modern railway station in China with a double-decker yard layout for normal speed and high speed.

Running high-speed rail on the top floor, running ordinary speed on the ground, and underground subway
Beijing Fengtai Station is the first super-large station in China that adopts the overlapping design of high-speed rail and ordinary rail double-decker parking lot.
The reporter exited from Fengtai Station of Beijing Metro Line 10, took the elevator to the upper floor and arrived at the entrance hall.
During the security check at the entry gate, passengers take out their ID cards and scan them or enter their ID numbers. Health information such as body temperature, nucleic acid test results, and new crown vaccination status are directly displayed on the electronic screen, and then they can quickly "clear customs".
Walking into the waiting hall, many passengers took pictures and punched in the 495-meter-long central light court and the plaque of "Beijing Fengtai Station".
According to reports, as a large-scale comprehensive transportation hub building, the architectural style of Beijing Fengtai Station realizes the perfect fusion of tradition and modernity.
Looking down at Fengtai Station from the air, it presents a rough-line "中" character, which is vigorous and powerful.
In terms of appearance design, the design of Fengtai Station is in line with the traditional Chinese architectural treatment method. It adopts a three-stage layout. The square building is located on the square platform. The whole is symmetrical on the central axis. It is slightly lower, with a colonnade in the middle, and the eaves are overhanging far and wide, fully integrating the building into the surrounding environment of the city.

The light guide pipe penetrates the floor board to send natural light source
The reporter saw that the spacious and bright waiting hall has 12306 service desks in the center. It is an island structure and is equipped with basic service equipment such as wheelchairs, stretchers, medical boxes, etc., which can provide passengers with answers to inquiries, key passenger reservations and urgent passengers. Rebooking and other services.
On the platform, some passengers leaned over from time to time to look at the "lights" on the ground.
The reporter learned that the station makes full use of natural light sources, not only the light-transmitting belt at the top of the platform "lights up" the entire platform, but also the natural light source pours down through the layers.
The "light" seen by passengers is an innovation in the platform design, that is, a light pipe technology is adopted, and the natural light is absorbed by the flat-panel daylighting device (commonly known as "light pipe") of the dual-mode electroless lighting system. When it is led into the waiting hall for lighting, from dawn to dusk, even in cloudy or rainy days, the system will still bring enough light into the room.
The use of light guide technology is expected to achieve an overall energy saving rate of more than 10%, saving about 950,000 kWh of electricity every year and reducing carbon emissions by more than 900 tons.
Beijing Fengtai Station also has an intelligent passenger station brain.
A monitoring system based on the unified time-space benchmark of Beidou has been set up to monitor the natural environment and structural health of glass curtain walls and rust-prone steel components in real time, continuously and uninterruptedly; Deep integration has been carried out, including intelligent management and control services, data analysis and AI services, passenger transport management and emergency command at the command station, intelligent audio and video analysis, etc., to realize intelligent operation and management of the station.

Why build Fengtai Station? Effectively disperse the passenger flow of the West Station
Beijing Fengtai Railway Station can be described as the "neighbor" of Beijing West Railway Station and Beijing South Railway Station.
Why build so many stations?
In this regard, Chen Shihe, chief engineer of the Beijing Railway Hub Fengtai Station Reconstruction Project of China Railway Design Group Co., Ltd., introduced that after the Fengtai Station project was put into operation, Jingguang Passenger Station introduced Fengtai Station. It can be greatly increased, effectively dispersing the passenger flow of Beijing West Railway Station, increasing the number of trains from Beijing to the whole country, and strengthening the connection between Beijing and Fengtai and cities across the country.
He said that Beijing West Railway Station will run more intercity trains to Hebei Xiongan New Area, Shijiazhuang and other places through the Jingxiong Intercity, which will facilitate the daily commuting of cross-city staff.
At the same time, through the Daxing Airport Station in the Beijing-Xiong Intercity, passengers from the airport and the central city can quickly go directly, providing a convenient and fast transportation method for the airport's passenger collection and distribution.
According to reports, the number of passengers sent by Beijing Fengtai Station will exceed 72 million in the long run.

Beijing has entered a new era of "seven stations and two stations" traffic development
In order to implement the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Planning Outline" and "Beijing Urban Master Plan (2016-2035)", Beijing proposed in compiling the rail transit network plan, according to the urban development requirements and regional development conditions, to build national and regional level and city-level three-level hub system.
Among them, the national-level passenger transport hub is built on the basis of high-speed railway, intercity railway and trunk railway, which is used to undertake the passenger transport function of national long-distance railway and suburban railway in the capital area, including 8 railway national passenger transport hubs, namely Beijing North Railway Station and Beijing West Railway Station. , Beijing South Railway Station, Beijing Railway Station, Fengtai Railway Station, Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station, City Sub-Centre Railway Station and Qinghe Railway Station.
With the opening and operation of Beijing Fengtai Railway Station, Beijing welcomes seven national railway passenger transport hubs including Beijing Railway Station, Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing South Railway Station, Beijing North Railway Station, Qinghe Railway Station, Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station and Beijing Fengtai Railway Station, as well as Capital International Airport, Daxing Railway Station and Beijing Railway Station. International Airport A new era of transportation development for both international airports.
The Beijing Sub-Central Station in the "Blueprint" is still under construction.
Chen Shihe said that from the perspective of the division of labor of the Beijing hub passenger station, Beijing West Railway Station and Beijing Fengtai Station are mainly responsible for the passenger flow in the southwest of the hub, and Beijing South Station is mainly responsible for the passenger flow in the southeast of the hub; Beijing Railway Station, Beijing Chaoyang Station, and Beijing Sub-center Station are mainly Bear the passenger flow in the northeast of the hub; Beijing North Railway Station and Qinghe Station are mainly responsible for the passenger flow in the northwest of the hub.
In his view, in this way, each station has its own specialties, and "the mouth" has the responsibility, which is conducive to expanding the capacity and increasing the number of trains.
In addition, passengers can also clearly determine which station to go to based on the direction of travel.
It is reported that with the corresponding optimization and adjustment of the functions of railway stations such as Beijing West Railway Station and Beijing Railway Station of Beijing Railway Hub, the division of labor at each railway station will be more scientific and reasonable, and the functions of comprehensive transportation services in Beijing will be further enhanced, which will greatly facilitate people's travel.
