Caihong Bridge Station (simplified Chinese: 彩虹桥站; traditional Chinese: 彩虹橋站; pinyin: Cǎihóngqiáo Zhàn; Jyutping: Coi²hung⁴kiu⁴ Zaam⁶; lit. 'Rainbow Bridge') is an interchange station between Line 8 and Line 11 of the Guangzhou Metro. It is situated underground near the Southwest gate of the Liuhua Lake Park.^[1]

Due to construction delays, the station could not open with the rest of the northern extension of Line 8 in 2020 and was hence delayed to open on 28 September 2 years later.^[2] Line 11 opened at this station on December 28, 2024.
