Haichong Lu Station is a station of Line 3 of the Guangzhou Metro. It started operations on November 1, 2024, along with the rest of the eastern extension of Line 3. It is located at the underground of the junction of Yayun Boulevard and Haichong Road, in Shiqi, Panyu District, Guangzhou.[1]

History

The station first appeared in the 2003 plan of Guangzhou Urban Rail Transit Plan, when Line 3 planned to travel from Panyu Square to the east to Guangzhou New Town in the direction of Nansha and build a station near Haichong Road intersection with Yayun (Asian Games) Boulevard on the way. The station was originally planned to be named Qianfengcun, but was later renamed to Jinguang Dadao. Subsequently, as part of the East Extension of Line 3, the station was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in late March 2017 and plans were approved in early January 2018.[2]

The construction of this station started on April 29, 2020,[3] the construction of the enclosure structure was completed on September 27 of the same year,[4] and the main structure was capped in June 2021.[5] In June 2023, Guangzhou Metro Group proposed to name the station Haichong Lu (Road),[6] which was officially approved in October of the same year.[7] On May 31, 2024, the station completed the transfer of the "three powers".[8] On November 1, 2024, the eastern extension of Line 3 was put into operation, along with the station.[9]
