History
The station was called Meiqi station during the planning and construction phase. In 2022, the station was renamed Tanzhou Convention and Exhibition Center station (潭州会展) based on the neighboring Guangdong Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, but the station name misused the word "state" (州) instead of the "continent" (洲) used by the convention and exhibition center. Later, the Chinese station name was revised with the correct character (潭洲会展).[5]
The station began construction on 18 November 2016.[6] The first diaphragm wall reinforcement cage was successfully hoisted into the pit and poured with concrete on 17 February 2017.[7] The station began excavating in July 2017, and all base slabs were poured on 27 November the same year.[8]
On 6 February 2018, the main structure of the station topped out, making it the first topped out station of Line 3.[9] On 1 August the same year, the double line tunnel from this station to Shuikou station (now Yuebu) broke through.[10] On 15 December the same year, the left and right line tunnels from Beijiao station (now Beijiao West Railway Station) to this station safely passed under the Guangdong Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center.[11]
On 28 December 2022, the station opened with the opening of Line 3.[12]
