Location

Pazhou railway station (Chinese: 琶洲站; Jyutping: paa4 zau1 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Paǎjāu Jaahm) is an interchange station between Guangzhou East Ring intercity railway and Pazhou–Lianhuashan intercity railway located in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It opened on 29 September 2025.[1]

Features

The station has a pair of underground island platforms. The Guangzhou East Ring trains stop at the outer platforms, whilst the Palian (Pazhou-Lianhuashan intercity) trains stop at the inner platforms.[2] It was constructed simultaneously with the Line 11 station.[3]

Station layout

Entrances/exits

The station has 6 points of entry/exit. Due to the co-construction of the intercity station and the Metro Line 11 station, the entrance/exit letters of the intercity station extend from the "F" entrance/exit within the metro station range, which means for the intercity station, they start from "G". Exit H is accessible via elevator.

Transfer

There is transfer available to the Metro Line 11 station through the concourse without the need for another security check.[4] However, the two ticketing systems need to be switched, and passengers holding transportation cards or boarding codes can check their tickets at the special gates and only need to pass through one gate to complete the transfer. However, if they hold other ticket types, they need to exit the metro station exit gate and enter via the intercity station gate.[5]

History

The up-line shield tunnel from this station to Financial City station (now Keyunlu) started tunneling on 30 June 2021.[6] It successfully crossed the Pearl River front channel on 7 May 2022[7] and broke through on 9 October 2022.[8] The down-line shield tunnel from this station to the No. 9 shaft (Guanzhou Island Shaft) broke through on 19 February 2023.[9] The up-line tunnel from the opposite direction broke through on 11 March the same year.[10]

In April 2023, the station topped out.[11]

On 29 September 2025, the station opened.[1]
