History The station was first proposed in 2010, as part of Line 10 in the urban rail transportation network plan, to be located in front of the south gate of Sun Yat-sen University, to the east of the Line 8 station. Originally, the station have the same name as the Line 8 station— station. When Line 10 was officially established in 2017, the station was renamed Sun Yat-Sen University South Gate station. During the construction and preliminary design stage of Line 10, the location of the station was set at the intersection of Ruikang Road and Jinfang Road. As this was around 500m from the Line 8 station, the proposed transfer passage between the two stations was cancelled.
The line was approved as proposed by the Guangzhou Development and Reform Commission in January 2018. However it was noted that this station, along with another (Shuqian Road station), had been changed from interchange stations to non-interchange stations, and that every effort should be made to provide interchanges at these stations, to enhance the accessibility of the entire network. Station construction started in February 2020.
In an interview with the media in October 2020, Guangzhou Metro stated that it was still studying the issue of an interchange with Line 8. By the end of the month, it had been concluded a transfer passage would not be built, however there would be a reservation left for one to be built in the future.
As the line neared completion in May 2025, it was revealed that due to delays associated with land acquisition, demolition and local conditions, Exit D, No. 1 wind shaft and the emergency exits were still under construction. As such, the station would not open with the rest of the line and trains would pass through without stopping. In late November 2025, Exit B and ancillary facilities were completed, and the station entered the operation and commissioning stage in December the same year. On 29 December 2025, the station officially opened.
