Longtan station (simplified Chinese: 龙潭站; traditional Chinese: 龍潭站; pinyin: Lóngtán Zhàn; Jyutping: lung4taam4 zaam6) is an interchange station between Line 11 and Line 18 of the Guangzhou Metro, located underground between Xinjiao Middle Road and Taichong in Guangzhou's Haizhu District.[1][2] It opened on 28 September 2021.[3] Line 11 started operations at this station on December 28, 2024.[4]
The rails for Line 11 at this station connects to the nearby Chisha Depot. Thus, this is the terminating station for Outer Circle Line 11 trains returning to the depot.
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.[5] In February 2021, the station name of this station was set as Longtan Station.[6]

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.[7] 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.[8]
On July 30, 2024, the Line 11 station completed the transfer of the "three powers".[9] On December 28, the station was opened with the opening of Line 11, and the station became an interchange station.[10]
