Metro station in Guangzhou, China
Tianhe Park station (Chinese: 天河公园站) is a station of Line 21 and Line 11 of the Guangzhou Metro. It started operations on 20 December 2019.[1] With the opening of Line 11, line 21 was truncated to here from Yuancun since October 2, 2024, as to allow renovation works in preparation for line 11 trains to serve that station instead. Line 11 started serving this station on 28 December 2024. It will also be an interchange station with Line 13 in 2025.[2]
Prior to the opening of Line 11, the dismantling work of the section from this station to Yuancun of Line 21 began October 2, 2024. The southern terminus of Line 21 was adjusted north to this station, and platforms 3 and 4 on the inner platforms were put in use, whilst platforms 1 and 2 on the outer platforms were temporarily suspended. The 6B train type's shielding doors and glass panel false walls of the outer platform will be removed, and then the appropriate shielding doors of the 8A train type will be installed. At the same time, it was necessary to dismantle the outer platform and the third track between the station and the Yuancun station area and replace the signal system to Line 11 standards.[3]
Station layout
When fully complete in 2024, the station's total construction area of the station will be 78558 square meters, which is equivalent to 2.3 Gongyuanqian stations and 3.3 Yangji stations. It will also be the largest station on the whole of Guangzhou Metro.[4]
The station has 4 underground island platforms. Platform 1 is for Line 11 inner circle trains while platform is for Line 11 outer circle trains. Platform 3 is for trains heading to Zengcheng Square, whilst platform 4 is for terminating trains. Formerly before Line 11 commenced passenger service, Line 21 trains would head to Yuancun from platform 1 and from Yuancun to platform 2. Both platforms 1 and 2 were closed from 2 October 2024 to 27 December 2024 to facilitate the transition from Line 21 back to Line 11.[5]
