Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine station

The station was originally planned to be located under Xiatang West Road, but due to the need to demolish the Xiatang West Viaduct and nearby shops, the project was large, so the site was eventually moved west to Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.^[9] During the planning and construction phase, the station was called Guangyuan Xincun station.

The station was sealed on 10 October 2022^[10] and topped out on 27 April 2023.^[11] In June 2023, the preliminary name of the Line 11 stations was announced, and the station is proposed to be named Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Station.^[12] During the public notice period, the public had a lot of disagreements on the name of the station. Some citizens believed that the station was built with the strong support of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and that the name "Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Station" was more indicative. Others believed that the station was close to Guangyuan New Village and its bus station, and suggested that it be named "Guangyuan Xincun Station".^[13] One month later, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Guangzhou issued a statement on soliciting opinions, believing that the station was located within Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and that "Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Station" was a clear and accurate indication, while "Guangyuan Xincun" generally referred to the area opposite the station and north of Guangyuan Road Middle, and that names such as "Guangyuan Xincun, Guangyuan" were not appropriate.^[14] Finally, in May 2024, Guangzhou Metro applied for the name of the station to be "Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine station" and was approved.^[15]

In September 2024, the station completed the "three rights" transfer.^[16] On 28 December, the station was put into use with the opening of Line 11.^[17][18]
