Wenhanhu Park (Ji Hua Laboratory) station (simplified Chinese: 文翰湖公园（季华实验室）站; traditional Chinese: 文翰湖公園（季華實驗室）站; pinyin: Wénhànhú Gōngyuán (Jì Huá Shíyànshì) Zhàn; Jyutping: Man^4hon^6wu^4 Gung^1jyun^4 (Gwai^3 Waa^4 Sat^6jim^6sat^1) Zaam^6) is a light metro station on Nanhai Tram Line 1 of Foshan Metro, located in Foshan's Nanhai District. It opened on November 29, 2022.[1]

The station name of this station is composed of the two names of Wenhanhu Park at the south of the station and the Ji Hua Laboratory in the east as the main and auxiliary station names respectively, excluding punctuation marks. With a total of ten Chinese characters, it has the longest station name of any rail transit station in the Guangzhou-Foshan area at present.

History

When the Nanhai New Transit (now known as Nanhai Tram Line 1) was originally planned, this station was not included. In early 2021, before the construction of the line was about to complete, Nanhai District mentioned that a station called Wenhanhu would be added between Sanshan­xinchengbei and Sanshan­xinchengnan stations when bidding for the initial pre-operation safety assessment project of the line.[2] As the construction of the new station will take longer in the later stage, the initial section of the line opening will also be shortened from Linyuebei to Sanshan­xinchengbei station.

On the eve of the opening of the initial section, it was confirmed that the station was renamed Wenhanhu Park Station.[3] On the eve of the opening of the remaining section, the sub-station name of Ji Hua Laboratory was added, making the station name of this station: Wenhanhu Park (Ji Hua Laboratory) station. On November 29, 2022, the station was opened with the opening of the remaining section of Nanhai Tram Line 1.[1]
