History

It was reported in February 2012 as one of six new lines under planning by the city's public transit planning authorities. As of 2015, the line was renamed to Line 19[10] with the first phase starting construction in 2016.[5] The line will open in 2021.[11][12]

Future Development

Phase 2 of Line 19, which is under planning, consists of a northern extension. There will be a branch line of the northern extension, which will serve the rebuilt Qinghe railway station, a station on the Beijing–Zhangjiakou intercity railway.[13]
