Tiyu Xilu Station (simplified Chinese: 体育西路站; traditional Chinese: 體育西路站; Jyutping: tai2 juk6 sai1 lou6 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Táiyuhk Sāilouh Jaahm; lit. 'Sports (Center) West Road station') is an interchange station between Line 1 and Line 3 of the Guangzhou Metro. It started operations on 28 June 1999 (for Line 1) and 26 December 2005 (for Line 3). It is situated under Tiyu Road West (体育西路) and Tianhe 1st South Road (天河南一路) in the Tianhe District of Guangzhou. It is near Teemall (天河城广场) and Guangzhou Books Center (广州购书中心), which makes it one of the busiest metro stations in Guangzhou.[1][2][3]
The station was designated as busiest in the country by a fair margin with 1,252,064 passengers per day in 2017.[4]

The track layout on Line 3 through this station is very complex. Line 3 branches immediately north of the station, with a branch to Airport North (referred to as Line 3 North), along with the mainline to Tianhe Coach Terminal. There is also a middle turnback with a platform on both sides.
Trains coming from the south enter platform 4 and can continue to either Airport North or Tianhe Coach Terminal. Trains from both Tianhe Coach Terminal and Airport North enter on platform 3 and continue south. As there is insufficient capacity with the two branches combining, some trains from Airport North terminate using the middle track and return to Airport North. There are platforms on both sides of the middle track to allow easy cross-platform interchange for passengers transferring to/from these trains.[5]
