History
Construction of the station began in December 2019.[3] Construction of the underground diaphragm wall was completed on 30 May 2020,[4] and the roof slab was sealed on 18 May 2021.[5] In December 2024, the station completed the "three rights" transfer.[6]
Because the station is adjacent to the Chisha Depot and is used as a supporting station for the properties above it, the station name during planning was Chisha station. In June 2023, Guangzhou Metro Group announced the preliminary names of the stations of Line 11, and the name, Chisha station, will be used by the transfer station of Line 11 and Line 12 adjacent to the station.[7] In August 2024, the initial names of the eastern section of Line 12 stations were announced, and the station was renamed Chisha North station. Since the station is actually located in the northwest of Chisha Village, and the northern part of Chisha Village is served by Xingangdong station, it is alleged to be misleading.[8] A month later, the Civil Affairs Bureau issued a statement for soliciting opinions, believing that the deviation of the name and designation of the public's suggestions was likely to cause confusion and mislead the public.[9] In April of the following year, the official station name of the eastern section of Line 12 was announced, and the station kept the name of Chisha North station.[10]
On 29 June 2025, the station opened.[2]
