In addition to Caihongqiao Station, Yufengwei Station, the interchange hub connecting Lines 7 and 13, stands out as a key gateway linking Guangzhou's vibrant economic zones across all directions. With thousands of passengers passing through daily, it plays a vital role in promoting the city's rich culture.
With a striking "Port Impression" theme, the station features an industrial-style base paired with bright orange accents, creating a bold and stylish design that's as eye-catching as it is modern.

Another distinctive metro station is Modiesha Station on Lines 8 and 18, nestled in the Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Test Area. Designed with an island platform and overtaking tracks, the station dazzles with a ceiling adorned in changeable rainbow-colored stripes. The overall space is bathed in cool tones, creating an atmosphere that feels both open and refreshingly modern.

Nansha Passenger Port Station on Line 4 is also unique in design. Inspired by the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the station seamlessly weaves cultural elements such as the ocean, treasure ships, and seagulls into its architecture, evoking the spirit of the "Maritime Silk Road." As passengers pass through, they're immersed in a dynamic, exhibition-like experience — turning their daily commute into a journey through history and culture.
