Future development

South extension (Nansha to Zhuhai (Zhongshan) Intercity)

According to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Intercity) Railway Construction Plan, Line 18 will continue south towards Zhongshan and Zhuhai, and Wanqingsha Station will become an intermediate station.[5]

Line 15

According to the relevant plans of Nansha District and Guangzhou City, Line 15 plans to have a station at Wanqingsha, but Line 18 was not designed to have an interchange with Line 15.[6] The total length of the station of Line 15 is 320 meters, and the width of the standard section is 22.5 meters. It will be built on the northeast side of the Line 18 station, and the two stations will be arranged in parallel and will be connected by a passage through the paid area of the concourse.[7] The line is currently not approved, but construction of the Line 15 station started on 26 March 2022 under the name of "Nansha Station Comprehensive Transportation Hub Subway Reservation Project".[8]
