It is located on the southeast side of the intersection of Airport Road and Qifu Road in the Baiyun District of Guangzhou.

The paid area is equipped with elevators, escalators, and stairs to allow passengers to go to transfer between lines. There are 8 escalators connecting the concourse and the Line 14 platform. Platforms The station has an island platform each for Line 12 and Line 14 respectively. The Line 12 platform is located under Qifu Road, and the Line 14 platform is located under the east side of Airport Road, with Line 12 on the upper level and Line 14 on the lower level. Both platforms have toilets and a nursery room, of which the Line 12 ones are at the western end towards Xunfenggang, and the Line 14 ones are at the southern end. The two platforms are connected at the west end of the Line 12 platform and the north end of the Line 14 platform through the mezzanine transfer lobby, allowing passengers to transfer between the two lines. In addition, passengers can also transfer via the concourse. Entrances/exits The station has 4 points of entry/exit, with Exit A being accessible via elevator. Line 12 concourse A: Qifu Road, Airport Road B: Qifu Road, Yixin Road C: Qifu Road Line 14 concourse H: Airport Road History The original plan for the second phase of Line 14 was to have Huangshi Road station at the intersection of the Airport Road and Huangshi Road. Later, several more stations were added to the line, and this station was moved south to its current location and renamed Xinshixu Station. Line 12 was originally planned to interchange with Line 14 at Gangbei Station (now Yunxiao Road) in the south. In order to meet the planning requirements of connecting to the Tangxi station (now Guangzhou Baiyun station), the western section of Line 12 was slightly modified to detour northward, so the interchange with Line 12 was moved to this station instead of Gangbei Station (Yunxiao Road). On 17 May 2019, the construction site of the station began to be closed in phases for construction. The Line 12 section on Qifu Road was the first to be built; the Line 14 section on Airport Road was delayed until 2022 due to the demolition of houses. In February 2023, the houses on the construction site were demolished. The Line 12 section was the first to complete the "Three Rights" transfer on 24 April 2025. On 8 April 2025, the preliminary names of the stations on the west section of Line 12 were announced. The authorities believed that the area referred to by "Xinshi" or "Xinshixu" had already developed into the two streets of Yuncheng and Xinshi, and continuing to use the project name might mislead passengers. Therefore, it was proposed to name it Qifu Road Station based on the road it is located on. However, many people suggested using the more well-known "Xinshixu". Finally, the authorities adopted the relevant suggestions the following month, and the station was to continue using the name of Xinshixu Station. On 29 June 2025, the Line 12 station opened. On 29 September 2025, the Line 14 station opened. References External links
