Gangxia North station

Gangxia North station (simplified Chinese: 岗厦北; traditional Chinese: 崗廈北; pinyin: Gǎngxià Běi; Jyutping: Gong1haa6 Bak1; Cantonese Yale: Gōnghah Bāk) is an interchange station for Line 2, Line 10, Line 11 and Line 14 of the Shenzhen Metro. Line 2 platforms opened on 28 June 2011, Line 10, Line 11 and Line 14 platforms opened on 28 October 2022. Measuring 220,000 meters square, it is 1.6 times as large as the nearby intermodal Futian station. It is the second four-line interchange station in the Shenzhen Metro after Chegongmiao station.

Gangxia North Station was designed in collaboration between the French architecture and engineering firm AREP Architecture and maarc studio. With an area of approximately 220,000 square metres, it is one of the largest underground transport hubs in China. The architectural concept centres on a large central atrium, known as the “Eye of Shenzhen,” conceived to introduce natural daylight deep into the underground concourse. Large circular roof openings and glazed surfaces reduce the perception of enclosure and mitigate the typical subterranean character of metro infrastructure.

Designed by Jiang & Associates Creative Design and China Railway Design Corporation, with Mr Frank Jiang being the Chief Designer, Line 14 concourse incorporates the "Shenzhen Eye" centre ceiling piece, which is a glass sky window to allow sunlight into the station, to try to eliminate the oppressive and dull feeling of underground space. The ceiling also uses the mathematical principle of Fermat's spiral. The huge columns acts as the main element of space for the large atrium. Louvered grilles regulates the day and night light, and alleviates the temperature pressure. The concourse was designed using parametric software.

The station has 20 points of entry/exit, where 18 exits include elevators. When only Line 2 was in operation, only Exit 17 and 18 (then known as Exits A and B) were used. In the initial opening of the station expansion on 28 October 2022, the station opened Exits 1–7, 12, 18 and 19. Exits 13–16 opened on 20 March 2024, and Exits 8–11 opened on 28 June 2024.

On 7 July 2018, during the construction of the Line 10 part of the station, four electric cables were broken, leading to a massive power cut at the nearby buildings. The broken cables were repaired six days later.
