Line 5 of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁5号线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě wǔhào xiàn) is Beijing's only subway line with an entirely north-south route. Line 5's color is maroon. It entered into operation on October 7, 2007. It runs for 27.6 km (17.1 mi)[5] in a near straight line through the city center (just approximately a kilometer east of the Forbidden City at Dongdan) from Tiantongyuan Bei (N) in Changping District to Songjiazhuang in Fengtai District.[6] Though Line 4 and Line 8 also broadly follow north-south routes (and so, in part, do Lines 14 and 13), Line 5 remains the only line to follow an almost entirely straight north-south course. Line 5 is also notable for including three stations in the densely populated northern suburb of Tiantongyuan, as well as providing convenient access to the Temple of Earth and Temple of Heaven. Since Line 5 connects with Line 1, Line 2 (twice), Line 6, Line 7, Line 10 (twice), Line 13, Line 14 and Line 15, and also links densely populated suburbs directly to the city center, it tends to experience very crowded conditions during rush hour and even very late into the evening. Over 1 million passengers use the line every weekday in 2019.[7]

Hours of Operation[]

The first south-bound trains departs from Tiantongyuan North at 4:59 am. The first north-bound train departs from Songjiazhuang at 5:19 am . The last south-bound train leaves Tiantongyuan North at 10:47 pm. The last north-bound train leaves Songjiazhuang at 11:10 pm. For the official timetable, see.[8]

Route[]

To the left is Tiantongyuan South station; a bus rapid transit line is visible in the center.

On a map, Line 5 runs vertically, beginning with three stops in the far northern suburb of Tiantongyuan in Changping District, about 5 kilometers outside the 5th Ring Road. Then, it enters Chaoyang District and connects to Line 13 at Lishui Qiao, which offers commutes to Dongzhimen in 20 minutes and Xizhimen in 35 minutes. At Datunlu Dong (E), it connects with Line 15, where many commuters transfer in order to go to Wangjing. At Huixin Xijie Nankou, it links up with Line 10, which is a very large loop, essentially following the 3rd Ring Road. Further south, it passes immediately to the east of the Temple of Earth and meets the Line 2 Loop (which essentially follows the 2nd Ring Road) at Yonghegong Lama Temple (see also Lama Temple). Then Line 5 cuts through the old neighborhoods of Dongcheng District. It connects with the east-west line, Line 6, at Dongsi, and the old foreign Legation Quarter between Dongdan and Chongwenmen. Further south, Line 5 stops at Tiantandongmen Station (see the Temple of Heaven) in Chongwen District, connects with another east-west line (Line 7) as well as Line 14 and eventually reaches Songjiazhuang and Line 10 again in Fengtai District south of the city. It takes 49 minutes to cover all the 23 stations.
