Line 10 of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁10号线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě shíhào xiàn) is the second loop line in Beijing's rapid transit network as well as the second longest and most widely used line. The line is 57.024 km (35.433 mi) in length, and runs entirely underground through Haidian, Chaoyang and Fengtai Districts, either directly underneath or just beyond the 3rd Ring Road. The Line 10 loop is situated between 2 and 6 kilometres (1.243 and 3.728 mi) outside the Line 2 loop, and intersects with every subways line through the city centre, with 24 transfer stations and 45 stations in all. The line's color is capri.
Upon completion in May 2013, it held the record as the world's longest rapid transit loop line, an accolade it held until March 2023. It remains one of the longest entirely underground subway lines in the world, requiring 104 minutes to complete one full journey in either direction.
