History
Previously, the station had an immigration checkpoint within the station for the daily Guangdong Through Train service to and from Hung Hom station in Kowloon, Hong Kong.[2][3] Due to the renovation of the checkpoint, the through train service has been suspended since 16 April 2017.[4][5] The service was officially shortened to Guangzhou East railway station on 10 June 2019, leaving the border crossing facilities in the station abandoned.[6]
On 10 April 2021, service patterns were changed and through running between Zhaoqing and Shenzhen Airport was introduced.[7][8]
