Xilang station (Chinese: 西塱站; Jyutping: sai1long5 zaam6; Cantonese Yale: Sāilóhng Jaahm [note 1]), formerly Guanggang station[1] because of nearby Guangzhou Iron and Steel's headquarters when planning,[2] is a terminus of Line 1 of the Guangzhou Metro and Guangfo Line (FMetro Line 1). It started operations on 28 June 1997. It was situated at the underground of Huadi Avenue South[3] in Fangcun, Liwan District.[4]
During COVID-19 pandemic control rules from 29 May to 24 June 2021, services of Xilang station had been largely restricted, as all entrances and exits are closed, passengers can't embark or disembark at this station, and while the trains on both lines can still stop here, passengers can only transfer between both lines within the fare zone.[5] The entrance has reopened in the afternoon of 24 June.
