Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station metro station (simplified Chinese: 广州白云站; traditional Chinese: 廣州白雲站; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Báiyún Zhàn; Cantonese Yale: Gwóngjāu Baahk'wàhn Jaahm) is a station on Line 12 of the Guangzhou Metro, which connects to Guangzhou Baiyun railway station of the national railway. The station opened on 29 June 2025 with the opening of the western section of Line 12.[2]
Station structure
With a total construction area of about 180,000 square meters, the station is divided into three sections, the north-south Lines 12 and 24 under the railway station east square, the north-south Line 22 under the railway station west square, and a reserved section for Foshan Metro Line 6 and another new line underneath the railway station structure. All three sections, when put together, resemble an "H" shape.[3] When the metro station opened, nearly half the station was opened.[4]
This station is a cultural themed station on Line 12, and the overall design integrates the triple themes of the geological stratigraphy of Baiyun Mountain, the hydrological vein of the Pearl River, and the traffic flow of the national railway station above.[5][4]
In addition, the restrooms and baby change are located in the unpaid area of the concourse near Exit A, and at the east end of the Line 12 platform.[6]
Platform layout
At present, Guangzhou Baiyun Railway station metro station is a three-storey underground station, of which the second floor is the concourse, the third floor is the equipment level, and the fourth floor are the platforms for Line 12. Above the metro station is the east square and departure concourse of the national railway station.

History
Among the lines currently intersecting with Guangzhou Baiyun railway station, Line 12, which was originally planned, did not pass through this station at first.[9] Afterward, when planning the renovation of the old Tangxi station into Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station, Shitan station of Line 8 was too far away, and the station location could not be altered since construction of the line had already started, so the route of Line 12 was altered to include Tangxi station to meet the needs of intersecting with the national railway station.[10] The northern extension of Line 22 and Line 24 formed by the dismantling of the northern extension of Line 8 also set up Tangxi (Baiyun) station and Baiyun station accordingly. At the same time, Foshan Metro Line 8, which was planned to serve the northern part of Nanhai in Foshan, extended into Guangzhou and linked up with this station, but the Guangzhou section of the line was transferred to Foshan Metro Line 6 after the updated metro network planning in Foshan. In addition, the authorities also planned an east-west line to connect Huadu and Baiyun and fill the rail gap on the west side of Line 8, which was not included in the Guangzhou Metro network plan but was decided to also be reserved when planning the transportation facilities of Baiyun Station. In 2025, in accordance with the national railway station, the metro station will also use the name Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station.[11][12][13]
On 28 December 2018, station construction began in the name of the metro reservation project, dubbed the "Guangzhou Baiyun (Tangxi) Station Comprehensive Transportation Hub Integration Construction Project".[14][15] Foshan Line 6 and the reserved new line were the first to be topped out on 19 June 2021,[16] and the entire station was fully topped out on 17 November 2022.[17]
Construction of the transfer passage connecting to Shitan station began in August 2020.[18] In December 2023, the station completed the "three rights" transfer.[19] The metro station structure was opened on the 26th in the same month with the opening of the national railway station.
On 30 April 2025, the Line 12/24 section of the metro station partially completed the "three rights" transfer.[20] On 29 June the same year, this part of the station opened.[21]
Future development
The northern extension of Line 22 (Fangbai Intercity), Line 24, the planned Foshan Line 6, and another planned new line in the future will also stop at this station.
In addition to the shared platforms of Line 12 and Line 24, Line 22, Foshan Line 6 and the future new line will each have an island platform. It is worth mentioning that Foshan Line 6 and the reserved new line were originally designed on the east side, with a side-by-side layout of two island platforms and four tracks, but in order to reduce the congestion in the paid area on the east side of the concourse and improve the transfer service level of Line 22, the platform of the new line was adjusted to the west side, so that the island platforms of the two lines are staggered.
In terms of transfers, the stations of Line 12 and Line 24 adopt the design of cross-platform transfer in the forward direction, and passengers in some directions can go directly to the opposite platform to transfer. The station of Line 12/24 and the station of Foshan Line 6 form an "L" node, and the stations of Line 22 and the platform for the reserved new line form a "T" node. Other transfers will require using the concourse.
