History

Line 12 was originally planned to have a station of the same name on Lujing West Road. In the August 2017 EIA, Lujing West Road station was moved east to the junction of Hengfu Road and Luhu Road, and Hengfu Road station was set up.[3] The station was subsequently built.

Due to the station's need to occupy part of the site of Luhu Children's Park for construction, the latter has been closed since 30 June 2019.[4] On 18 May 2021, the main structure topped out.[5]

On 8 April 2025, the preliminary name of the stations on Line 12 (Xunfenggang-Luhu Lake Section) was announced, and the station was planned to be named Luhu Lake station, which was officially confirmed the following month.[6][7]
