In addition, the automated external defibrillator is located in the unpaid area near Exits B and D. There are elevators, escalators and stairs in the fare-paid area for passengers to access the platforms.
Platform and transfer method
The station has two side-by-side island platforms, located underneath Xinjiao Road East, shared by Lines 11 and 12. Line 11 uses platforms 1 and 2 on the inner side and Line 12 uses platforms 3 and 4 on the outer side. This station is also the only station on Line 11 that has doors opening on the right side in the direction of travel.
The restrooms and baby change are located at the western end of the platforms.[6]
The station is a cross-platform interchange station, passengers can walk to the opposite platform and directly change to another train to their destination (e.g. Line 11 Outer Circle to Line 12 towards Higher Education Mega Center South), or via the concourse to change to another train to their destination (e.g. Line 11 Outer Circle to Line 12 towards Xunfenggang).
Track configuration
Line 11 on the inner side of this station has a set of crossovers at the west end. To the west of the crossing line, the two main lines each lead to a siding line as an entry and exit line to access the Chisha Depot. After the morning and evening rush hours of Line 11 and the last few trains before the evening close, the Inner Circle trains will terminate at this station and will clear passengers after arriving at platform 2, before returning directly to the Chisha Depot through the entry and exit lines. At the same time, there are also two one-way lines connecting to Line 12 for connection purposes.
Exits
The station has 3 exits, of which Exit D has an elevator. In addition, in order to comply with the fire evacuation requirements of the Line 12 platforms when they opened, there is an unnumbered entrance and exit at the southwest corner of the station for passengers to enter and exit.
History
This station first appeared in 2009 in the "Super Big Ring Line" scheme of Line 11, and was then known as Chisha station.[7] The plan was subsequently adopted, and the construction of the station began under the name of Chishajiao station. However, in June 2023, Guangzhou Metro Group announced the initial name of the stations on Line 11, and the name of the station is planned to be restored to Chisha Station.[8] In May 2024, it was approved as the official station name.[9]
On 30 July 2024, the station completed the "three powers" transfer.[10] At 12:00 on 28 December, the station was opened with the opening of Line 11.[11]
On 29 June 2025, the Line 12 platforms were opened, and this station became an interchange station.[5]
