Gongyuanqian Station (simplified Chinese: 公园前站; traditional Chinese: 公園前站; Jyutping: gung1 jyun2 cin4 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Gūng'yúnchìhn Jaahm; lit. 'Front of the Park Station') is an interchange station of Line 1 and Line 2 of the Guangzhou Metro. It started operation on 28 June 1999 and is located under People's Park in Yuexiu District of Guangzhou.[1]
Station layout
Due to being an interchange between two busy lines and serving a major office and shopping district, it's one of the busiest stations of the Guangzhou Metro. Both the line 1 and line 2 stations adopt the Spanish solution to separate boarding and alighting passengers on both lines. When the train arrives at the platform, train doors and platform screen doors on the right side are opened first to allow passengers to get off. Then those on the left side are opened to allow passengers to get on.
