The station has 3 points of entry/exit. Exit A is equipped with an elevator.

History

The station had the fastest progress out of any station during the construction of Line 10 after its construction started on 26 June 2019. The enclosure structure was completed in April 2020. On 28 July 2021, the roof slab was sealed, becoming the first topped-out station of Line 10. On 30 December 2024, the station completed the "three rights" transfer.

During planning and construction, the station was called Dongsha station. In April 2025, the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau announced the preliminary station names for Line 10, and the station is planned to continue to use the name Dongsha. Since this station is located in Shaluo Village, and the Dongsha Subdistrict Office is located next to the adjacent Huawei Station, many people have suggested using Shaluo as the station name. In the following month, the authorities did not adopt the relevant recommendation on the grounds that "the naming guidelines were not clear", and the station name of this station was kept as Dongsha station.

The station opened on 29 June 2025.
