History

The station opened on 26 December 2009.[http://news.0731fdc.com/fc/200912/26/20091226_17_3723_1.html 抢占先机 武广高速铁路通车长沙商圈又添新丁] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303200524/http://news.0731fdc.com/fc/200912/26/20091226_17_3723_1.html |date=2016-03-03 }}{{in lang|zh}}

When the station was first open, the surrounded area—which is away from Changsha's city center—was mostly industrial. Since then, however, high-rise residential and office development has taken place around the station. The passenger volume has also increased greatly.{{cite news|last=Bradsher|first=Keith
