History
A station in this area was first proposed in the Guangzhou Fast Rail Transit Network Design Report in 1997. A line would start in Sanyanqiao, pass through Jiaokou, then continue along what became the route of modern day Line 6. Another line roughly resembling modern Line 5 was also proposed in this report, but its eastern terminus was further north in Jinshazhou. By 2003, the eastern ends of these two lines had been swapped and the Sanyanqiao - Jiaokou station dropped, forming the modern day Line 5. The exact site of the station was announced in early 2004.The main structure of the station was completed in August 2009. The station opened with the rest of Line 5 on 28 December 2009.
