Xilang station

Xilang station (Chinese: 西塱站; Jyutping: sai1long5 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Sāilóhng Jaahm ), formerly Guanggang station because of nearby Guangzhou Iron and Steel's headquarters when planning, 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 in Fangcun, Liwan District. The Guangfo line station started operations on 3 November 2010, and the Line 10 station started operations on 29 June 2025, making the station a 3-line interchange station.

The station was the eastern terminus of Guangfo line before the extension to Yangang opened on 28 December 2015.

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. All entrances have been reopened in the afternoon of 24 June.

The currently under construction remaining section of Phase 1 of Line 22 will serve the station by the end of December 2025 and become the first 4-line interchange station of Guangzhou Metro. North of Xilang station, Line 1 is connected to Xilang Depot [zh] and south of the station, Line 10 is connected to Guanggang New Town Depot [zh].

The station consists of three sections, the Line 1 station on ground level, and the underground Line 10 and Guangfo line stations. The station as a whole is roughly in an inverted "L" shape, of which the station of Line 1 and the station of Line 10 are roughly parallel, and the three lines are connected by a paid area transfer passage. The station is surrounded by Huadi Avenue South, Xilang Depot, Xilang-Fangcun Bus Terminus and other nearby buildings.

The Line 1 station is a three-storey station, the ground level are the platforms, the second floor is the concourse, and the third floor are offices. [citation needed]

In addition, the third floor of the station building was reserved for the use of the Guangfo Tram planned at the time, and the planned Guangfo line decided to build its concourse and platforms underground, therefore the pre-reserved structure of the above-ground third floor was converted into offices.[citation needed]

The Line 10 station is a four-storey underground station. The ground level is the exit and the transfer mezzanine towards Line 1, the first floor is the transfer level, the second floor is the concourse, the third floor is the equipment level, and the fourth floor are the platforms for Line 10.
