History
The station began enclosure construction on 9 August 2017,[7] and the second phase of enclosure construction on 25 August 2018.[8]
On 10 November 2020, the main structure was successfully topped out.[5] On 13 April 2021, the double line tunnel between this station and Jihua Liulu broke through.[9] On 24 November 2021, the right line tunnel from this station to Guicheng successfully broke through.[10] On 28 December 2022, the station opened with the opening of the initial section of Line 3 and served as its northern terminus. On 23 August 2024, after the opening of the southern section of the rear section of Line 3 (Zhen'an-Zhongshan Park), the station became an intermediate station of Line 3.
Role as terminus of Line 3 initial section
Due to the turnback setup, the first section of Line 3 can only use this station as the northern terminus, and it cannot continue to Guicheng station, which is only one stop away from this station and provides transfer to the Guangfo line, making the Chancheng section of Line 3 a "broken road" at this station. Therefore, if the station of the Chancheng section of Line 3 has to provide transfers to the stations along the Chancheng, Nanhai and Guangzhou sections of the Guangfo line, it is necessary to detour to Dongping station for transfer or pass through Wanhua and Kuiqi Lu stations on Line 2. Although the shuttle bus M1008 connecting this station to Guicheng station was created to make up for this problem, the inconvenience caused by this was still criticized by passengers. However, Guicheng station was not in a condition for train turnback, and Foshan Metro did not plan to open Line 3 to Guicheng station separately at that time.
Since 23 August 2024, with the opening of the section under construction of Line 3, this station will be able to lead into Guicheng station, and the "broken road" that has lasted for more than a year and a half has been opened. From that day on, the shuttle bus M1008 was also suspended.
