Xibozi railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xibozi Station, closed (July 2020)

Xibozi station (Chinese: 西拨子站; pinyin: Xībōzǐ zhàn) is a former fourth-class railway station in Badaling Town, Yanqing District, Beijing.[1][2] Located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of Badaling station and 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) west of Kangzhuang station, it was on the historic Beijing–Zhangjiakou Railway line and represents over a century of history.[2]

Passenger services were suspended around 2011, leading to closure of the station.[1][2] To the north of the old station house, there is an entrance to an underground bunker which railway historian Wang Wei has suggested was built by the Imperial Japanese Army.[2] As of 2019, Wang had applied for recognition of Xibozi station as a cultural relic.[2]
