With a total length of 19.869 km and 12 stations, the project runs eastward to Cishousi Station in Haidian District from Shimenying Station in Mentougou District in southwest Beijing.

Divided into two sections for easier construction, the project will begin land acquisition and resettlement work from the west section, starting September 1, 2010. The west section, from Shimenying Station to Pingguoyuan Station, is slated to be ready for trial operation by December 2013. The east section, from Pingguoyuan Station to Cishousi Station, will begin construction in November 2013, with a trial operation in February 2017.
