History
Planning and construction
In the 2003 plan, the station was planned as one of the stations of the Guangzhou-Foshan Metro, and Fangcun Dadao station was used as the station during the planning and construction of the project. In the original plan, the station was located in the north-northwest area of its current location, but it was later changed to be located next to the stream near the intersection of Huanhua Road and Fangcun Avenue.In 2011, in response to the planning of a Line 11 station at Shachong, the Guangfo line Station was redesigned, the station was widened, and part of the structure was planned as a transfer passageway on the second floor to make good use of the station space.
The construction of the Guangfo line station started on 24 September 2009, and the main structure was topped out on 14 January 2013. On 14 May 2017, the station site of Line 11 was enclosed together with Fangcun Avenue East Station, and construction of the envelope structure was completed in May 2020. The "three rights" transfer was completed on 3 July 2024.
In order to facilitate the connection to the station part of Line 11, on the eve of the opening of Line 11, the north part of the paid area of the Guangfo line concourse was redivided, the number and location of the turnstiles at the interface connecting to the Line 11 station were adjusted, and the elevators originally divided into the connecting platforms outside the paid area were included in the paid area.
