Changping East railway station (simplified Chinese: 常平东站; traditional Chinese: 常平東站; pinyin: Chángpíng Dōng Zhàn; Jyutping: Soeng4ping4 Dung1 Zaam6) is a railway station in Changping, Dongguan, Guangdong, China. It opened on 30 March 2016,[1][2] and was the western terminus of the Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway before the extension to Daojiao opened on 28 December 2017.[3]
In the early stage of the Dongguan-Huizhou intercity planning, there was a Huangjiang station in Huangjiang Town between Changping Station and Zhangmutou Station (now Changping South and Zhangmutou East). In 2010, after the Ministry of Railways intervened in the construction of the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region intercity railway, the line scheme was redesigned. Finally, at the suggestion of Dongguan City and the towns and streets along the line, in order to avoid cutting the urban planning and make the line position straighter, the Changping-Xiegang section was shifted north, no longer passing through Huangjiang, and at the same time, Dongguan East Station was added near the Dongguan East Station of the National Railway.[4][5]: 87, 92–97
In order to avoid the same name as the national railway station, the station was named Changping East at the end of 2015.[6] On 30 March 2016, this station was opened with the opening of the eastern section from Xiaojinkou to here on the Dongguan-Huizhou intercity (now Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity).[1][2]
