History

As early as 1997, this station appeared as one of the intermediate stations of the branch line of Line 5 in the direction of Guangzhou Development Zone in the "Guangzhou Urban Rapid Transit Line Network Planning Research (Final Report)". Subsequently, this site was still set up in the 2003 plan and in the partial revision plan. The station then became one of the stations in the eastern extension of Line 5, which was officially approved in January 2018 and was built simultaneously with the eastern extension of Line 5.

During the planning phase, this station was called Guangzhou Development Zone station. On 27 February 2023, the Guangzhou Civil Affairs Bureau announced the initial names of stations on the east extension of Line 5, and this station was renamed to Xiagang station.

The station was the first one to be capped on the eastern extension of Line 5, which happened during October 2021. In December the same year, the shield tunnel section from this station to Huangpu New Port became the first tunnel section to be completed on the eastern extension.

The station opened on 28 December 2023 along with the eastern extension of Line 5.
