Huangpu New Port station[1] (Chinese: 黄埔新港站; pinyin: Huángpǔ Xīngǎng Zhàn; Cantonese Yale: Wòhngbou Sāngóng Jaahm) is a metro station on Line 5 of the Guangzhou Metro in Guangzhou, China. It is located underground at the intersection of Kaifa Avenue (开发大道) and Baoshi Road (宝石路) in Huangpu District.[2] It opened on 28 December 2023, with the opening of the eastern extension of Line 5, and is the eastern terminus of the line.[3]

The station is a cultured themed station on the eastern extension of Line 5, with the design theme of "Sails Like Clouds", and the ceiling part of the station adopts a blue gradient as the background color, with a white ceiling and simple lights to represent the blue sky and white clouds.[4] In addition, the color scheme of the glass panels of this station is gray, which is different from the white panels of each station in the eastern extension of Line 5.

Station layout

The station has 3 underground floors. The ground level are the entrances/exits toward Kaifa Avenue, Baoshi Road, Dongjiang Avenue, Huangpu New Port Freight Terminal and adjacent buildings. The first floor is the concourse, the second floor are the Line 5 platforms, and the third floor is part of the structure of the reserved new line platform. Both Line 5 platforms feature toilets and nursery rooms, both of which are located at one end of the platform. In addition, there is also a toilet near the Exit C passage in the concourse non-paid area.

History

In November 2020, in order to cooperate with the construction of this station, the traffic police department implemented closed enclosure construction at the intersection of Kaifa Avenue and Baoshi Road.[6] In December 2021, the shield tunnel section from Guangzhou Development Zone (now Xiagang) to this station became the first tunnel section to be completed on the eastern extension.[7]

The station capped in October 2022, making it the 5th station on the eastern extension on the line to do so.[8]

During the planning phase, this station was called Huangpu Passenger Port station. On 27 February 2023, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau announced the initial names of stations on the east extension of Line 5, and this station was renamed to Huangpu New Port station.[9]

The station completed the "three rights" transfer on 31 October 2023.[10] It opened on 28 December 2023 along with the eastern extension of Line 5.[11]

Future development

The station is planned to be an interchange with Lines 17, 25 and Dongguan Line 1.[12][13] Among them, the Line 5 station reserved a cross-shaped node transfer, and the new line platform was reserved under the Line 5 platforms. It was originally planned for Line 25, but recent planning changes meant that the line changed its alignment and will no longer stop at this station, therefore the current plan is to have the reserved platforms used by Dongguan Rail Transit Line 1.
