History
In 1997, in the "Guangzhou City Urban Expressway, Traffic Network Planning Research (Final Report)", the then Line 4 set up this station. In the 2003 plan, most of the section of the line became part of the current Line 8, and this station became one of the stations in the northern extension of Line 8. Initially, the station was named Hengjiao station[4] before being later changed to Shangbu station.[5]
The roof slab of the station was sealed on 6 March 2018.[6] The station successfully transmitted power in March 2020[7] and completed the "three rights" transfer on 31 July the same year.[8]
On 26 November 2020, the station opened with the opening of the northern extension of Line 8.[1]
During COVID-19 pandemic control rules in 2022, the station was affected by prevention and control measures many times and needed to adjust its services. During the epidemic in April, the station was suspended from 9 to 23 April.[9] During the year-end epidemic, the station was suspended from 21 to 27 November.[10][11]
