History

In November 2020, in order to cooperate with the construction of this station, the traffic police department implemented closed enclosure construction at the intersection of Kaifa Avenue and Baoshi Road.[6] In December 2021, the shield tunnel section from Guangzhou Development Zone (now Xiagang) to this station became the first tunnel section to be completed on the eastern extension.[7]

The station capped in October 2022, making it the 5th station on the eastern extension on the line to do so.[8]

During the planning phase, this station was called Huangpu Passenger Port station. On 27 February 2023, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau announced the initial names of stations on the east extension of Line 5, and this station was renamed to Huangpu New Port station.[9]

The station completed the "three rights" transfer on 31 October 2023.[10] It opened on 28 December 2023 along with the eastern extension of Line 5.[11]

Future development

The station is planned to be an interchange with Lines 17, 25 and Dongguan Line 1.[12][13] Among them, the Line 5 station reserved a cross-shaped node transfer, and the new line platform was reserved under the Line 5 platforms. It was originally planned for Line 25, but recent planning changes meant that the line changed its alignment and will no longer stop at this station, therefore the current plan is to have the reserved platforms used by Dongguan Rail Transit Line 1.
