History

In April 2022, the section from this station to Miaotou Lu (Miaotou) in the eastern extension of Line 5 was completed, and it is also the longest shield tunnel section in the whole extension.[3]

During the planning phase, this station was called Shuanggang station. Before Wenyuan station was opened on Line 13, it was renamed to Shuanggang station, which conflicted with the name of this station. The two stations are in different locations, and it is not possible to build a transfer. 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 Shuangsha station.[4] The station opened on 28 December 2023 along with the eastern extension of Line 5.[1]
