==Station layout== The station is divided into two sections: Line 4 and Line 13, which are parallel but not aligned. The two stations are connected by transfer channels via the concourse and platform level. The station is surrounded by Zhongshan Avenue, Chebei North Street, BRT Chebei Station, Chebei Haojia Academy and adjacent buildings.

===Line 4=== Line 4 has two underground floors. The ground level are Exits C and D, the first floor is the concourse and the second floor is the Line 4 platform.

===Line 13=== Line 13 has four underground floors. The ground level are Exits A and B, the first floor is the mezzanine level which connects Exit B and the concourse, the upper floor is the upper transfer concourse toward Line 4. The second floor is the Line 13 concourse, the third floor is the lower transfer concourse and equipment level, and the fourth floor houses the Line 13 platform.

===Concourse=== The concourse has 2 sections: Line 4 and Line 13, in which the Line 4 concourse is located on the first underground floor whilst the Line 13 concourse is located on the second underground floor. The two are connected by paid area and non-paid area transfer passages.

To facilitate pedestrian access, the north side of the Line 4 concourse and the south side of the Line 13 concourse are designated as paid areas, of which Line 13 is also equipped with faregates on the Exit B mezzanine to access the paid area transfer passage and the Line 13 accessible elevator. Within these areas, dedicated elevators, escalators, and stairs provide easy access to the platforms.

Ticket machines and customer service centers are available at both concourses and the Exit B mezzanine. In addition, there are convenience stores and other shops as well as self-service automatic vending machines and card recharge machines.

===Transfer=== The two lines provide transfer through an upper and lower floor. During construction of Line 13, a new transfer mezzanine level was built on the existing Line 4 platform to the lower part of the escalator on the east side of the concourse, and two escalators were added to the transfer passage on the third underground floor of the Line 13 station to the platform or the concourse. Considering that there is a large capacity gap between Line 4 and Line 13, the current passenger flow organization arranges this transfer channel only for passengers getting off on Line 4 to go to Line 13 through this platform transfer interface, whereas passengers alighting Line 13 need to transfer via the concourse and transfer channel.

===Platforms=== Line 4 and Line 13 each have an island platform under Zhongshan Avenue, with Line 4 above and Line 13 below. Toilets and a nursery room are located at the western end of the Line 13 platform towards {{stl|GZM|Tangxia}}.

===Entrances/exits=== The station has 4 points of entry/exit. Exits C and D opened when the station first opened, and both exits are located in the pedestrian area on the south side of Zhongshan Avenue. When Line 13 opened, Exits A and B were added to the north side of Zhongshan Avenue.<ref>{{Cite news |title=车陂地铁站A、B口已拆围，十三号线二期首通段开通进入倒计时 |trans-title=The fences around Exits A and B of Chepi Metro Station have been removed, and the countdown to the opening of the first section of Phase 2 of Line 13 has begun. |url=https://huacheng.gz-cmc.com/pages/2025/08/25/3cbe1de28b0f44a69ac1df2af209a223.html |author=刘展萍 |work=Information Times |date=25 August 2025 |access-date=25 October 2025 |language=zh-Hans |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250829172325/https://huacheng.gz-cmc.com/pages/2025/08/25/3cbe1de28b0f44a69ac1df2af209a223.html |archive-date=29 August 2025}}</ref> The vicinity of Exit B has a coffee shop and a fruit and vegetable shop.

==Usage== The station is currently closest to the area of Dongpu, with many residential areas and urban villages nearby, and it is also in close proximity to the BRT Chebei station, so the station usage is quite high.

In order to alleviate pressure at {{stl|GZM|Chebeinan}} station on Lines 4 and 5, and at the same time prevent the accumulation of too many passengers on the platform of this station and other measures to prevent safety hazards, the station implements passenger flow control measures during the morning rush hour on weekdays to maintain operational order. The peak hours of this station were originally from 08:00 to 09:00, but were brought forward to 07:30 on 16 April 2018,<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://gd.sina.com.cn/news/yangjiang/2018-04-09/detail-ifyuwqez7254397.shtml?from=gd_cnxh |title=4月16日起广州三地铁站限流时间延长高达半小时 |trans-title=Starting from April 16, the flow restriction time of three subway stations in Guangzhou will be extended by up to half an hour |author=郭苏莹 |work=Information Times |date=9 April 2018 |via=Sina News |access-date=25 October 2025 |language=zh-Hans |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230524141849/http://gd.sina.com.cn/news/yangjiang/2018-04-09/detail-ifyuwqez7254397.shtml?from=gd_cnxh |archive-date=2023-05-24}}</ref> before extending to 09:30 on 18 December 2019 due to the opening of the Line 21 rear section.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://gzdaily.dayoo.com/pc/html/2019-12/17/content_123714_667500.htm |title=21号线或周五全线通车 |trans-title=Line 21 may be fully open to traffic on Friday |author=李天研 |work=Guangzhou Daily |date=17 December 2019 |language=zh-Hans |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220528141608/https://gzdaily.dayoo.com/pc/html/2019-12/17/content_123714_667500.htm |archive-date=28 May 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History== The station first appeared in the 1997 underground railway plan, when a branch line of Line 5 in Plan A branched out from {{stl|GZM|Pazhou}} to the World Grand View, and there was a Chebei station that was planned to be set up at the intersection of Zhongshan Avenue on Chebei Road, close to the current location. In the recent implementation of the adjustment plan in 2000, the branch line of Line 5 of the 1997 plan became the current Line 4, and the location of this station has not changed. Until 2003, Line 4 turned east at the intersection of Chebei Road and Zhongshan Avenue, went via on Zhongshan Avenue before it turned onto Daguan South Road. This station was adjusted underground on Zhongshan Avenue along with the line alignment, and the location was ultimately determined. The station officially started construction in 2007.

In addition, when Line 4 was designed, it was planned to provide transfer to Line 13, so the station was only reserved for the expansion of the north side of the station for concourse transfer during construction. The current design was changed to underground construction on the northeast side of the station of Line 4 in the subsequent station design of Line 13.

On 2 July 2010, the hot slip track test of the Line 4 north extension from Chebeinan (not including) to {{stl|GZM|Huangcun}} was successful. On 25 September 2010, the Line 4 station opened with the northern extension from Chebeinan to Huangcun.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://news.sina.com.cn/o/2010-09-26/085518161035s.shtml |title=广州地铁新二/八号线昨开通 四号线接通奥体中心和亚运村 |trans-title=Guangzhou Metro's new Line 2/8 opened yesterday, connecting Line 4 to the Olympic Sports Center and the Asian Games Village. |author=陈洁娜 |work=Nanfang Daily |date=26 September 2010 |author2=陈邦明 |access-date=25 October 2025 |language=zh-Hans |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220725214647/http://news.sina.com.cn/o/2010-09-26/085518161035s.shtml |archive-date=25 July 2022}}</ref>
