Dongsi Shitiao station[1] (simplified Chinese: 东四十条站; traditional Chinese: 東四十條站; pinyin: Dōngsì Shítiáo zhàn), is an interchange station on Line 2 and Line 3 of the Beijing Subway.
Dongsi Subdistrict is an area in the northeastern side of the old town of Beijing.
Hutongs are sorted numerically from south to north, and are called "tiao" in local parlance.
Shitiao therefore refers to the tenth hutong in the Dongsi area, counted from south to north.
The station is particularly busy during Beijing Guo'an matches, due to its proximity to the Workers' Stadium.
