History
The station first appeared in the 2003 plan of Guangzhou Urban Rail Transit Plan, when Line 3 planned to travel from Panyu Square to the east to Guangzhou New Town in the direction of Nansha and build a station near Zhufen Road intersection with Yayun (Asian Games) Boulevard on the way. Subsequently, as part of the East Extension of Line 3, the station was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in late March 2017 and plans were approved in early January 2018.[7]
The construction of the station started on 31 July 2020,[8] and construction of the main enclosure structure was topped out in September 2022.[5]
The station was known as Guangzhou New Town West in the planning and construction stage. In June 2023, Guangzhou Metro Group plans to name the station Shiqinan (Shiqi South).[9] During the publicity period, the naming of "Shi Qi Nan" was rarely used by Guangzhou citizens, and some commentators believed that according to the "Naming Rules for Guangzhou Metro Stations", "Qianfeng" was more suitable than "Shi Qi Nan".[10] However, the authorities did not adopt the proposal because the station was far away from Qianfeng Road, and "Shiqinan" was officially approved in October of the same year.[11]
On 31 May 2024, the station completed the "three rights" transfer.[12] On 1 November 2024, the eastern extension of Line 3 was put into operation, along with the station.[1]
