Hongshengsha Station (simplified Chinese: 洪圣沙站; traditional Chinese: 洪聖沙站; pinyin: Hóngshèngshā Zhàn; Jyutping: hung^4sing^3saa^1 zaam^6) is a station of Guangzhou Metro Line 7, located underground on the west side of Hongshengsha Island in Guangzhou's Huangpu District.[1] The civil works and mechanical and electrical works of the station have been basically completed, but because Hongshengsha Island, where the station is located, has not been developed, and the construction of various municipal supporting facilities has not been completed, the station does not have the opening conditions, so the station cannot be opened simultaneously with the second phase of Line 7, and trains currently pass the station without stopping. It will not open until the island is more developed.[2]

History

Although the route of Line 7 to Huangpu in the early planning stage will pass through Hongshengsha Island, it did not set up a station on the island until 2016. Eventually, the station was included in the second phase of Line 7 for construction.[3] Construction started on 18 April 2019,[4] the construction of the main envelope structure was completed in April 2020.[5] In May 2021, the main structure of the station was successfully capped, making it the first station to be topped out in the second phase of Line 7.[6]

The station was handed over to the '3 Powers' on 31 October 2023 for territorial management and operation of the station and facilities.[7]

Station information

Since both ends of the station are on the Pearl River, and in order to meet the requirements of the depth of the rail crossing the river, the station has a total of 3 floors.[3] The station is planned to have 4 exits.
