Caihongqiao Station is a station on Line 8 of the Guangzhou Metro. It is situated underground near the Southwest gate of the Liuhua Lake Park.[1]
Due to construction delays, the station could not open with the rest of the northern extension of Line 8 in 2020 and was hence delayed to open on 28 September 2 years later.[2]
