For more than three years, photographer Yuan Ruilun has continuously been recording the reconstruction process. About 1 kilometer to the east of the former station, the brand-new Fengtai Railway Station rises from the ground. The construction area of the station's complex is about 400,000 square meters, twice the size of the Forbidden City. It can accommodate up to 14,000 people per hour with its 32 arrival and departure lines, and 32 passenger platforms.

The station's total steel consumption is nearly 200,000 tonnes. One of its key features is the 400-meter-long central lighted court. With 200 tubes redirecting the sunlight, the station saves more than 900,000 kWh of electricity every year and reduces carbon emissions by more than 900 tonnes.
