History
Construction
The main station structure of Line 11 started construction in January 2022,[2] and was topped out on 29 May 2023.[3]
In order to withstand the flow of passengers from Line 11, the station body of Line 2 was renovated on the eve of the opening of Line 11, and the Line 2 station converted the original staircase connecting the concourse to the platform into an escalator, and a new set of stairs was built in the middle of the concourse to connect to the platform. In addition, a passenger queueing space is set up in the Line 11 concourse before entering the transfer interface so that it can be used for transferring passengers from Line 11 during peak traffic restrictions.[4]
Operation
On 28 September 2010, the station was officially put into use with the opening of the new Line 2 and Line 8.[5]
When the station was first opened, it was called Jiangtai Lu in English. In 2022, the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee issued a new version of the "English Translation and Writing Specifications for Public Signs in Guangzhou (2022 Edition)", which requires the English naming of roads to be standardized.[6] Thus, the English station name of the station will be changed to Jiangtai Road when Line 11 opens. Related materials have also been updated on the eve of the opening of Line 11.[7] On 28 December 2024, the Line 11 station was put into use.[8]
