Xiping West railway station (Chinese: 西平西站; pinyin: Xīpíng Xī Zhàn; Cantonese Yale: Sāipìng Sāi Jaahm) is a railway station in Nancheng Subdistrict, Dongguan, Guangdong, China. It opened on 28 December 2017.[1]
The station has 3 points of entry/exit, lettered A-C. Currently only Exit B is open, and it is accessible via elevator.
There is a reservation for a direct transfer with the platform of Xiping station of Dongguan Rail Transit Line 2 at the end of the station platform in the future, but it is currently sealed by a false wall,[2] which means the current means of transfer is via the concourse transfer passageway.[3]

History
In the early stage of Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway planning, there was an elevated station called Dongguan Boulevard on the northwest side of Shuilianshan Reservoir. In 2010, after the Ministry of Railways intervened in the construction of the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region intercity railway, the line scheme was redesigned. Finally, at the suggestion of Dongguan City and the towns and streets along the line, in order to avoid cutting the urban planning and avoid ecologically sensitive points such as Shuilian Mountain Forest Park and Tongsha Forest Park, the Dongguan urban area, Liaobu and Changping sections were changed from elevated to underground, so the station was adjusted to the underground Xincheng Center Station (also known as Dongguan Xincheng Station) and shifted northeast to the current site.[5]: 87–91 In February 2012, the site was officially excavated.[6]
Since the name of the project "Xincheng Center Station" is superimposed and does not conform to the railway naming rules, and "Nancheng Station" and "Xiping Station" have been occupied by other stations, the station was named Xiping West at the end of 2015.[7][8] On 28 December 2017, the station was opened with the opening of the southern section of Dongguan–Huizhou Intercity (now Guangzhou–Huizhou Intercity Railway) between Daojiao and Changping South.[1]
The station was operated by China Railway Guangzhou Group when it was opened, and was transferred to Guangdong Intercity on 23 January 2024.[9]
