History

When the Nanhai New Transit (now known as Nanhai Tram Line 1) was originally planned, this station was not included. In early 2021, before the construction of the line was about to complete, Nanhai District mentioned that a station called Wenhanhu would be added between Sanshan­xinchengbei and Sanshan­xinchengnan stations when bidding for the initial pre-operation safety assessment project of the line.[4] As the construction of the new station will take longer in the later stage, the initial section of the line opening will also be shortened from Linyuebei to Sanshan­xinchengbei station.

On the eve of the opening of the initial section, it was confirmed that the station was renamed Wenhanhu Park Station.[5] On the eve of the opening of the remaining section, the sub-station name of Ji Hua Laboratory was added, making the station name of this station: Wenhanhu Park (Ji Hua Laboratory) station. On 29 November 2022, the station was opened with the opening of the remaining section of Nanhai Tram Line 1.[1]
