History The project of the eastern extension of Line 3 was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in late March 2017, and the construction report was approved in early January 2018, followed by the construction of the station part of Line 3 in mid-2019. On 1 July 2023, the tunnel boring machine broke through, and on 27 October, the main structure was topped out. The "three rights" transfer was completed on 31 May 2024. On 1 November 2024, the eastern extension of Line 3 was put into operation, along with the station.
Line 3 opening complications The natural gas pipelines that affected the opening of Station and Guangzhou Metro Line 22 earlier once brought uncertainty to the partial opening of Line 3 of this station. In 2022, the authorities issued a notice stating that the expansion of Haibang station would have affected the operation of the existing three pipelines, namely Guangzhou Gas, Dapeng Gas and Sinopec Pipeline, and they would need to be relocated. The Dapeng Gas Pipeline and Sinopec Oil Pipeline started construction and relocation in December 2023 and March 2024, respectively, and were completed in March 2025. The Guangzhou Gas Pipeline will be relocated and renovated by the Guangzhou Metro Group itself, and the relocation began as of October 2024.
Although the station had already been handed over to the subway operation department for commissioning, the latter was even ready to open the station at the end of September 2024, but this did not happen. The authorities have responded that the station of Line 3 can only be opened after the construction of the pipeline is completed and the pipeline is accepted. However, it was not until 30 October that the Guangzhou Metro Group announced that the eastern extension of Line 3, including this station, would open on 1 November of the same year. The relocation and renovation of the Dapeng gas pipeline was put into trial operation in April 2025.
Operational incident 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 28 November 2022 to the afternoon of 30 November 2022.
