Xilang station (Chinese: 西塱站; Jyutping: sai1long5 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Sāilóhng Jaahm [note 1]), formerly Guanggang station[1] because of nearby Guangzhou Iron and Steel's headquarters when planning,[2] is an interchange station between Line 1, Line 10, and the Guangfo line of the Guangzhou Metro, and also the southern terminus of Line 1 and the western terminus of Line 10. It started operations on 28 June 1997. It was situated at the underground of Huadi Avenue South[3] in Fangcun, Liwan District.[4]
During COVID-19 pandemic control rules from 29 May to 24 June 2021, services of Xilang station had been largely restricted, as all entrances and exits are closed, passengers can't embark or disembark at this station, and while the trains on both lines can still stop here, passengers can only transfer between both lines within the fare zone.[5] The entrance has reopened in the afternoon of 24 June.
The currently under construction Line 22 will serve Xilang station by the end of 2025 and become Guangzhou’s 2nd 4-line interchange station. North of Xilang station, Line 1 is connected to Xilang Depot and south of the station, Line 10 is connected to Guanggang New Town Depot.
