Gallery History In the 2003 subway planning plan, the Central and South sections of the Industrial Avenue were identified as the lines of the Guangzhou section of the Guangzhou-Foshan Metro (Guangfo Metro), and the station appeared as one of the intermediate stations, in which the location was roughly the same as the current one. Subsequently, in the planning of Line 11, there was also a station named Yangang. Although the stations of the two lines was named Yangang at the time, they could only interchange at Shachong Station. The No. 11 environmental review, published in January 2014, showed that the two lines were designed to be far apart from each other at the station in Yanzigang and could not provide an interchange. However, in July 2014, the Guangzhou Municipal Planning Bureau replied to public inquiries that the two lines would be equipped with interchanges at the station, and the Guangzhou Municipal Urban and Rural Construction Commission issued the "Notice on the Construction of Guangzhou Rail Transit Line 11" on September 4, which also added one interchange station compared with the environmental review. Since then, the station has also been adjusted to Quantang Road with the line position, close to the Guangfo line station. At this point, it was officially confirmed that Yangang Station would become one of the interchange stations between Guangfo line and Line 11. The main station structure of the Guangfo line station was topped out in December 2013. The station started the operation and commissioning stage on 1 July 2015, and opened on December 28 of the same year. Affected by the obstruction of the construction of Lijiao Station, this station was the temporary eastern terminus of Guangfo line for three years. It was not until 28 December 2018 that the remaining section of the rear section of Guangfo line (Yangang to Lijiao) was opened, and this station became a halfway station. The Line 11 station was topped out on 13 August 2020. The "three rights" transfer was completed on 30 July 2024, and on 28 December, the station was put into use with the opening of Line 11.
