Perspective
In the 1997 "Guangzhou City Urban Expressway, Traffic Line Network Planning Study (Final Report)", this station appeared as the then Gongye Avenue station on Line 4 and later became part of the existing Guangzhou section of the Guangzhou Metro in the 2003 plan.
Construction of this station began in August 2009. In December the same year, a water pipe burst due to the settlement of the foundation, affecting the water supply of tens of thousands of nearby residents.[1] In 2011, the construction of the main structure of the station was completed. Subsequently, the construction party began to fence the southern section of Gongye Avenue South to build exits 3 and 4, but due to the complexity of the land ownership issue, construction did not start until August 2013, during which the authorities criticized the construction for being overdue.[2][3] After the completion of the underground civil works, due to the delay of the construction of the terminus at Lijiao station, it was not possible to open the station in 2015 together with the Xilang-Yangang section, and the station was still enclosed for a period of time.[4]
With the completion of construction of Lijiao station, the section from this station to Lijiao station was handed over for operation and commissioning on 23 September 2018.[5] On 28 December the same year, the station was opened with the opening of the Yangang to Lijiao section of the Guangfo Metro.[6]
During COVID-19 pandemic control rules at the end of 2022, due to the impact of prevention and control measures, station service was suspended from 09:00 on 5 November 2022 to the afternoon of 30 November 2022.[7] During that time, it served candidates for college entrance examinations and other examinations, and normal services were still provided until 09:00 on the 5th and 6th.[8]
