Caihong Bridge Station (simplified Chinese: 彩虹桥站; traditional Chinese: 彩虹橋站; pinyin: Cǎihóngqiáo Zhàn; Jyutping: Coihungkiu Zaam; lit. 'Rainbow Bridge') is an interchange station between Line 8 and Line 11 of the Guangzhou Metro. It is situated underground near the Southwest gate of the Liuhua Lake Park.
Due to construction delays, the station could not open with the rest of the northern extension of Line 8 in 2020 and was hence delayed to open on 28 September 2 years later. Line 11 opened at this station on December 28, 2024.
