Name conflict

This station has the same English name as a station on the Batong line, also part of the Beijing Subway system. In Chinese this is not a problem as the station on Line 15 is called and the one on the Batong Line is called , but the government policy is to create English names from the pinyin transliteration of Chinese language, but without the tone markers; thus 关庄 (guānzhuāng) and 管庄 (guǎnzhuāng) are both rendered as Guanzhuang, making them look identical. In December 2019, the 管庄 (guǎnzhuāng) station on Batong line changed spelling to Guaan Zhuang.[3]
