Shaxi station
station of Guangzhou Metro
Shaxi Station (Chinese: 沙溪站; pinyin: Shāxī Zhàn; Jyutping: saa1kai1 zaam6) is a station on Line 18 of the Guangzhou Metro, located underground northwest of the intersection of Panyu Bridge and Shaxi Avenue on Shajiao Island in Guangzhou's Panyu District. It opened on 28 September 2021.
History
In 2014, when the Nansha Express Line was proposed, a station was planned at Shaxi. At the beginning of 2016, in order to meet the requirement that Line 18 can its entire length in 30 minutes, the metro company cancelled the plan for Shaxi Station, which caused dissatisfaction among residents in Shaxi and other areas, and residents sent a letter to the Guangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission. Eventually, planning for the station resumed the following year.
Station information
In order to meet the requirements of the rail crossing depth at both ends of the station, the station has a total of 3 floors.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Shaxi station” as station of Guangzhou Metro. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as station of Guangzhou Metro. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105938018. Authority coordinates are 23.038, 113.333. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2014 and 2016.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
