Transfer method
The station is designed with transfers in mind during the design Line 10, and a transfer passage will be constructed between the Line 10 concourse and the west side of the Line 5 concourse near Exit A.[7] Due to the slow progress of the construction of the transfer passage, it could not be opened in the initial stage of the opening of Line 10, and the station needs to implement a virtual transfer via an out-of-station interchange (OSI).[8] Similar to Pazhou station, which implemented the virtual transfer method earlier, passengers can be regarded as transferring at the same station within 30 minutes after exiting the station through the blue turnstile dedicated to transfer and will not affect the calculation of fares. Holders of single-journey tickets and other types of tickets can also use virtual transfers, and one-way tickets will not be collected when exiting the dedicated turnstile. However, security checks are still required when you re-enter the station. The walking distance between Exit A of Line 5 and Exit F of Line 10 is around 6 minutes.[9]
Platforms
The station has island platforms for both Line 5 and Line 10, in which both are located under Siyou New Road.[10] Line 5 is located on the upper floor on the east side, and Line 10 is located on the lower floor on the west side.
Exits
The Line 5 station has 4 exits, and Exit A is one of the few stations on Guangzhou Metro built before 2015 to feature elevators. The Line 10 station has 2 exits.

History
Line 5
In the 1997 "Guangzhou City Urban Rapid Rail Traffic Network Planning Research (Final Report)", the then Line 3 passed through Xicun and continued along West Huanshi Road to reach the area of Zhujiang New Town, and this station was set up on the way, which appeared as Wuyang New Town station at that time. Later, in the 2003 proposal, Line 3 was renumbered Line 5, and the station was confirmed to be one of the stations of the current Line 5, and construction was implemented.[11]
On 26 June 2006, construction of the station officially began with the full Line 5. On the eve of its opening, the station was named Wuyangcun station. On 28 December 2009, the station opened with the start of trial operation of Line 5.[12]
Line 10
In the early days of planning, Line 10 had a Siyou Xinmalu station on the west side of Yangji Estate. Due to the distance from Wuyangcun Station of Line 5, it was not designed as an interchange station. Later, the station was moved eastward to the east side of Yangji East, but because the demolition volume and construction restrictions of the scheme were large, the station continued to move eastward to its current location. Later, at the preliminary design review of Line 10, experts commented that the two stations should be considered for an interchange.[13] Subsequently, it was stated in the tender documents of the Line 10 EPC project that the Siyou Xinmalu station was located close to Wuyangcun Station of Line 5, and it was confirmed that there would be a transfer passage to connect the two stations.[7][14]
Line 10 station began to be enclosed in June 2019.[15] Construction of the first bored pile began in March 2020,[16] and construction of the enclosure structure began on 21 January 2021.[17] The station completed the "three rights" transfer on 21 April 2025.[18]
On 8 April 2025, the initial name of the stations on Line 10 was announced, and the station was regarded as an interchange station with the existing Wuyangcun Station of Line 5, therefore the name of Wuyangcun station was used.[19] However, due to the slow progress of the construction of the transfer passage, it is unable to be opened with the initial opening of Line 10, and the station needs to implement a virtual transfer via an out-of-station interchange (OSI).[8] On 21 May, part of the Line 5 concourse began to be enclosed to cooperate with the renovation works required for the implementation of the virtual transfer at the station. In the future, when the transfer passage is constructed, it is necessary to renovate Exit A, its attached restrooms and re-configure the scope of the paid area of the Line 5 concourse.
On 29 June 2025, the Line 10 station was opened.[20]
