Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint station

Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint station (Chinese: 深圳湾口岸站; pinyin: Shēnzhènwān Kǒuàn Zhàn; Cantonese Yale: Sāmjamwāan Háuohng) is a station on Line 13 of Shenzhen Metro. It opened on 28 December 2024, and is located in Nanshan District on the north side of Shenzhen Bay Port. It serves the Shenzhen Bay Port and its transportation hub. Due to the relative position of the two ends of the station and the limitation of the radius of the curve, the station is not parallel to the road above, but adopts an oblique arrangement similar to Luohu Station with a certain angle. The station is also the most difficult station to construct on the whole Line 13. Station layout Entrances/exits The station has 3 points of entry/exit. All exits are equipped with elevators. : Wanghai Road, Shenzhen Bay Park : Wanghai Road, Shenzhen Bay Port Passenger Clearance Building, Shenzhen Bay Port Passenger Clearance Building (Rental Station) : Wanghai Road, Shenzhen Bay Port Passenger Clearance Building, Shenzhen Bay Port Passenger Clearance Building (Transport Interchange), Shenzhen Bay Port Public Transport Exchange Office Gallery Construction timeline Phase 1 planning and construction On 26 July 2017, Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd. issued the "Environmental Impact Report of Shenzhen Urban Rail Transit Line 13 Project", which includes this station, which is named Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint Station, because the station is close to the regional landmark Shenzhen Bay Port.
