History

In the 1997 "Guangzhou City Urban Expressway Traffic Network Planning Study (Final Report)", the then Line 7 had a Tianpingjia station, and later in the 2003 plan, the then Line 7 was renamed Line 6, and there was also a Tianpingjia station, and the location of the station was basically the same as the current one. Subsequently, the station officially started construction in 2009.

On 13 September 2012, the station and Donghu Station officially started the installation and construction of power supply equipment.[2] On 9 October 2012, the boring tunnel machine completed the section between Shuiyin Road (now Shaheding and Tianpingjia, marking the completion of the first phase of the line constructed using the tunnel boring method.[3]

On 28 December 2013, the station was put into use with the opening of Line 6 trial operation.[4]
