History
The western part of Line 1 formed part of the first underground rail in Beijing. The line was extended to Xidan in 1994, and to Sihui East by September 1999. Due to technical reasons, through traffic from Pingguoyuan through to Sihui East was only able to flow on June 28, 2000. In 2003, the Sihui and Sihui East stations were linked with the Batong Line.
