Huangge Auto Town Station (simplified Chinese: 黄阁汽车城站; traditional Chinese: 黃閣汽車城站; Cantonese Yale: Wòhnggok Heichēsìhng Jaahm) is an elevated station of Line 4 of the Guangzhou Metro.[1] It started operations on 30 December 2006. It is located at the junction of Shinan Road[2] and Huangge Road North[3] in the town of Huangge, Nansha District, next to Guangzhou Toyota Auto Town,[4] a plant operated by Toyota.[5][6][7][8]
Before the station put into service, it was called "Huangge North Station" (黄阁北站) and "Guangzhou Toyota Auto Town Station" (广州丰田汽车城站) successively.[9] Residents criticized the station name of "Guangzhou Toyota Auto Town Station" for promoting Toyota and its car accessories. So the station name was changed to the current Huangge Auto Town Station later.[10]
