Panyu railway station (Chinese: 番禺站; pinyin: Pānyú Zhàn; Jyutping: Punjyu Zaam) is a railway station in Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. The station opened on 26 May 2024. It is operated by Guangdong Intercity Railway Operation Co., Ltd.
Location
Panyu railway station is situated underneath the existing Guangzhou South railway station which is operated by China Railway Guangzhou Group.
History
This station was originally planned to share the name "Guangzhou South" with the existing Guangzhou South railway station operated by China Railway Guangzhou Group. However, in August 2020, the station was renamed Panyu railway station., as according to the naming rules of railway stations, intercity railways and national railway stations cannot have the same name. This meant that in order to facilitate the scheduling and operation organization of the platforms, the station did not use the station name of "Guangzhou South Railway Station", which meant the station had to be later named Panyu Station.
Features
With a total length of 1,194 meters and a total construction area of 116,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the area of 11 standard subway stations, Panyu Station was known as the largest underground intercity railway station in Chinese mainland when it was built. The main body of the station is white as the theme color, and the ceiling design adopts fusiform and sail shape, symbolizing Guangzhou's riding the wind and waves and sailing forward.
Interchanges
Panyu railway station is an underground station located beneath Guangzhou South railway station, which is a stop on several high-speed railway lines and is also served by Line 2, Line 7, Line 22 of Guangzhou Metro and Foshan Metro Line 2. The station is connected to the concourse of Line 22, with a walking transfer time of about 5–10 minutes, and the passage is also equipped with a moving walkway. In addition, the station is connected to the underground commercial space of Guangzhou South Railway Station.
Although this station is connected to the subway station, there is no mutual recognition channel for security checks, and passengers need to go through security checks again when traveling between the two stations.
Station structure and exits
The station has one island platform and two side platforms, which are laid along the South South Railway Station Road in an east-west direction. Currently only 4 exits are open.
Usage
After the opening of this station, the passenger flow has been very good, and many passengers will use this station to transfer to high-speed rail or metro. Since the opening of Guangzhou-Huizhou and Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing intercity lines, the station is the second largest station in terms of passenger flow among the five cities on the line, and it is also the station with the largest passenger flow in Guangzhou. However, due to the large passenger flow and the lack of security equipment and ticket gates at the station, a large number of passengers queuing up to enter the concourse in the early stage of opening often caused inconvenience.
