History
The original plan for the second phase of Line 14 was to have Huangshi Road station at the intersection of the Airport Road and Huangshi Road.[4] Later, several more stations were added to the line, and this station was moved south to its current location and renamed Xinshixu Station. Line 12 was originally planned to interchange with Line 14 at Gangbei Station (now Yunxiao Road) in the south. In order to meet the planning requirements of connecting to the Tangxi station (now Guangzhou Baiyun station), the western section of Line 12 was slightly modified to detour northward, so the interchange with Line 12 was moved to this station instead of Gangbei Station (Yunxiao Road).[5]
On 17 May 2019, the construction site of the station began to be closed in phases for construction.[6] The Line 12 section on Qifu Road was the first to be built; the Line 14 section on Airport Road was delayed until 2022 due to the demolition of houses.[7][8] In February 2023, the houses on the construction site were demolished.[9] The Line 12 section was the first to complete the "Three Rights" transfer on 24 April 2025.[10]
On 8 April 2025, the preliminary names of the stations on the west section of Line 12 were announced. The authorities believed that the area referred to by "Xinshi" or "Xinshixu" had already developed into the two streets of Yuncheng and Xinshi, and continuing to use the project name might mislead passengers. Therefore, it was proposed to name it Qifu Road Station based on the road it is located on. However, many people suggested using the more well-known "Xinshixu".[11][12] Finally, the authorities adopted the relevant suggestions the following month, and the station was to continue using the name of Xinshixu Station.[13][14]
On 29 June 2025, the Line 12 station opened.[15] On 29 September 2025, the Line 14 station opened.[1]
