Construction on the original station began in 1895, and it was opened in 1896.[1] Passenger services ceased on 19 June 2010.[7] The station has been closed since June 2010 in preparation for the construction of the new Fengtai railway station, which is expected to have a similar scale to Beijing South railway station.[8]

A metro station on Line 10 of the Beijing Subway was opened here on 5 May 2013.[9]

The construction of the new station was officially started in mid 2018 and the new railway station was expected to open in 2020 for conventional-speed railway,[5] and in 2021 for high-speed railway.[5] The opening of the new station was delayed until 20 June 2022 when it opened for both conventional-speed and high-speed railway.[2][3]
