The station is named Xiegang during the planning and construction stage and is located on the southwest side of the former Xiegang railway station on the Beijing–Kowloon railway in the early planning stage. In 2010, after the Ministry of Railways intervened in the construction of the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region intercity railway, the line scheme was redesigned. Eventually, at the suggestion of Dongguan City and Zhangmutou Town, in order to avoid cutting the urban planning and make the line position straighter, the line position of the section from Changping to Xiegang was greatly shifted to the north, and the station was adjusted northwest to the current site.[4][5]: 87, 92–97
In order to avoid the same name as the national railway station, the station was named Yinping at the end of 2015.[6]
