Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint station


Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint station is a station on Line 13 of Shenzhen Metro. It opened on 28 December 2024, and is located in Nanshan District on the north side of Shenzhen Bay Port. It serves the Shenzhen Bay Port and its transportation hub.
Due to the relative position of the two ends of the station and the limitation of the radius of the curve, the station is not parallel to the road above, but adopts an oblique arrangement similar to Station with a certain angle. The station is also the most difficult station to construct on the whole Line 13.

    Phase 2 south planning and construction

On 29 December 2020, the construction of the second phase of the southern extension of Shenzhen Metro Line 13 officially started, and the line begins from the east end of the station.
