History
The station opened on 26 December 2000, coinciding with the opening of the initial section of Line 3, from Shanghai South Railway Station to Jiangwan Town, and Line 4 service began here on the final day of 2005.
On the evening of 21 January 2016, a fire broke out in a restaurant outside Exit 1 of the station, which was close to the train tracks, but it did not affect the operation of the subway, and only smoke drifted in the station and trains.
There is a plan to solve capacity problems caused by the co-line operation of lines 3 and 4 by carrying out large-scale renovation of the section between this station and Shanghai Railway Station, along with separating the two lines. However, due to poor feasibility, this plan was cancelled in 2015, and the station was instead renovated and expanded.
Renovation and expansion of this station started on 20 July 2023. This include adding a new track on the north side and expanded the platform, set up a new turnout for the outer ring of Line 4 to connect to the downline of Line 3 behind the station on the west side, and removed the existing turnout of the outer ring of Line 4 to connect to the downline of Line 3 in front of the station on the east side. After the renovation, the station became an island-side platform. The renovation project was completed on 22 February 2026.
