Shiqinan Station (Chinese: 石碁南站; Cantonese Yale: Sékgēinǎam Zaahm) 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.[1] It is located at the underground of the junction of Yayun Boulevard[2] and Zhufen Road,[3] in Shiqi, Panyu District, Guangzhou. The station has a middle track used for train dispatches from and withdrawals to the nearby Guangzhou New Town Depot.[4][5]

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 Zhufen Road intersection with Yayun (Asian Games) Boulevard on the way. 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.[6]

The construction of the station started on July 31, 2020,[7] and construction of the main enclosure structure was capped in September 2022.[5]

The station was known as Guangzhou New Town West in the planning and construction stage. In June 2023, Guangzhou Metro Group plans to name the station Shiqinan (Shiqi South).[8] During the publicity period, the naming of "Shi Qi Nan" was rarely used by Guangzhou citizens, and some commentators believed that according to the "Naming Rules for Guangzhou Metro Stations", "Qianfeng" was more suitable than "Shi Qi Nan".[9] However, the authorities did not adopt the proposal because the station was far away from Qianfeng Road, and "Shiqinan" was officially approved in October of the same year.[10]

On May 31, 2024, the station completed the transfer of the "three powers".[11] On November 1, 2024, the eastern extension of Line 3 was put into operation, along with the station.[1]
