Beijing Subway/8

Line 8 of the Beijing Subway is planned and built in several phases. The first phase, called the Olympic Branch Line is 4.53 km with four stations and connects the Olympic Green (village) with Line 10, north of the city. The Olympic Branch Line has just entered into operation on July 19, 2008 with Line 10. It runs from Beitucheng to Senlingongyuan (Forest Park 森林公园). Construction on Phase I began in 2004. Phase I has four stations: Beitucheng, Olympic Sports Center, Olympic Green, and South Gate of Forest Park.

After the Olympics, Line 8 in Phase II, will be extended north beyond the Line 13, Beijing Subway arc in Changping District, and south into the city centre. The Changping District government has commenced land clearing for Line 8's extension.
