History
When Line 7 was originally planned, there were two stations situated under Xingnan Avenue--Guantang Station (Chinese: 官堂站) and Jingkeng Station (Chinese: 金坑站). To accommodate the construction of the Nanda Highway, Line 7 in the Xingnan Avenue section had to lay under the north side of the road, so the original Guantang station did not have enough space to build, and then it merged with the Jinkeng station and moved to the current location.[2]
On November 28, 2013, the station began construction.[3] In July 2014, the station was formally renamed as Yuangang Station (Chinese: 员岗站).[4] The main structure of the station was completed in early August 2015,[5] and it opened on December 28, 2016.
