Longtan station

Longtan Station is a station on Line 18 of the Guangzhou Metro, located underground between Xinjiao Middle Road and Taichong in Guangzhou's Haizhu District. It opened on 28 September 2021.

The station will become an interchange station with Line 11 in 2024.

History
During the EIA announcement of Line 11, the proximity of the station to the Haizhu Wetland Park and the fact that two entrances and exits entered the planned land area of the wetland park caused concern among citizens and environmental groups. In order to protect the environment of the wetland park, Line 11 cancelled the subway entrance on the sidewalk at the entrance of the wetland park in the follow-up plan.

This station is called Shiliugang Station during planning. In June 2020, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau announced that the initial name of this station was named Haizhu Wetland Station. In February 2021, the station name of this station was set as Longtan Station.
