Usage

This station is the closest metro station to Yuntai Garden and Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, attracting a large number of tourists to and from the scenic spot. In the early days of the opening of Line 11, Yuntai Garden Station was the station with the highest number of people entering the station.[7]

History

In 2010, the station appeared on Line 11 in the plan and was finally implemented, and the initial plan was to set up at the main entrance of Yuntai Garden. During the EIA announcement of Line 11, the proximity of the station to Baiyun Mountain, and the need to cross Baiyun Mountain between the station and Dajinzhong Road Station, caused concern among citizens and environmental groups.[8] In order to reduce the impact of the subway on Baiyun Mountain, Line 11 adjusted the original Baiyun Mountain base section to the south to cross under Guangyuan Road in the follow-up planning, and the location of the station was also moved 150 meters south from the main entrance of Yuntai Garden to the bottom of Guangyuan Road.[9]

The station entered the substantive construction phase on 5 March 2017,[10] and the diaphragm wall construction was completed on 12 November 2018.[11] On 28 November 2019, the main structure of the station was topped out, making it the first topped-out station on Line 11.[12] On 3 July 2024, the site completed the "three powers" transfer.[13] On 28 December 2024, the station was put into use with the opening of Line 11.[14]
