Name conflict
This station had the same English name as a station on Line 15, also part of the Beijing Subway system. In Chinese this is not a problem as the station on Line 15 is called and one on the Batong Line is called , but the government policy in China is to create English names from the pinyin transliteration of Chinese language, but without the tone markers; thus () and () are both rendered as Guanzhuang, making them look identical.
In December 2019, the () station on Batong line changed spelling to Guaanzhuang.
