History

On 31 August 2016, the pilot section of Line 3 (this station to station) started construction to cooperate with the construction of the Guangzhou–Foshan circular intercity railway.[5] The station began enclosure construction on 16 March 2017[6] and officially started excavation on 5 December 2018.[7]

On 27 April 2017, the first tunnel shield of Line 3 (from this station to station) was successfully launched.[8] The tunneling shield broke through on 8 December the same year[9] and handed over for track laying on 31 August 2020.[10]

On the morning of 19 April 2019, the pouring construction of the first basement floor of the station was successfully completed.[11] On 21 November the same year, the station became the first station on the whole of Line 3 to top out.[12]

On the afternoon of 7 August 2020, the right line tunnel from this station to Shuikou station (now station) broke through.[13] The tunnel section passed acceptance on 7 April 2022.[14]

The station passed the civil acceptance on 2 November 2021.[15] On 30 May 2022, the station completed the "three rights" transfer.[16] On 28 December the same year, the station opened with the opening of Line 3.[17]

Usage

The nearby surroundings of this station are fishponds and farmland, and there is little flow of people, so it was dubbed "the most down-to-earth subway station" by netizens during its initial opening. At the same time, some entrances/exits of the station were blocked by river inflows, and passengers needed to take a detour for several minutes to reach the municipal road after leaving the station.[18]
