This week we’re previewing the new lines expected to open in Shanghai and Beijing in December 2012. Today, Beijing Line 9!
Poor Beijing Subway Line 9 is a bit of an oddity. Although it opened last year, it only currently connects with the suburban Fangshan Line, passengers arriving at its current northern terminus at Beijing West Railway Station need to walk or take a bus to Line 1.
That’s all about to change with not one, but four new interchange stations. The existing station at Liuliqiao will link to the new Line 10 extension, while there are new interchange stations with Line 1 at Military Museum, Line 6 at Baishiqiao South and Line 4 at National Library.
Line 9 should look like this by the end of the year (click to enlarge!):

you forgot to include Fengtaidongdajie station on the map
Fengtai Dongdajie is currently closed, I don’t think it will open in 2012.
Don’t be ridiculous – the station has been open for months.

You are of course correct 🙂 I have updated the map in the blog post.
