"With this station as a fulcrum, the comprehensive service capability of the capital railway hub has been greatly improved. It will provide strong support for the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei world-class urban agglomeration."

From Beijing Railway Station, one of the "Top Ten National Day Projects" in 1959, to Beijing West Railway Station, the "First Station in Asia" at the end of the 20th century, to Beijing South Railway Station, the "First Station of China's High-speed Railway" in 2008, and then to the new era of railway passenger stations.

"Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made great strides from a major transportation country to a transportation power. The investment in railway fixed assets has grown steadily, and transportation has become a pioneer in China's modernization." Lu Lu, a professor at Peking University, said that Beijing Fengtai Station has created a new station-city integration model. The model will profoundly change the development of China's transportation and even China's economy. Editor/He Yuting
