The adjacent stations are Happy Valley to the northwest and Shuanghe to the east.
The station is located in Chaoyang District,[2] at the intersection of Fatou Road (垡头路) and Fatou East Street (垡头东街).
History
The station's platforms were completed on 28 December 2014, along with the rest of the initial section of Line 7, but, due to the need to clear space at the surface for station entrances, the station has remained unopened and trains pass through without stopping at Fatou.[3] In November 2017, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban Rural Development, and the Beijing Daily, both stated they expected the station to be operational by the end of 2018.[4][5] It was opened on December 30, 2018.[6]
