Location in Shanghai

Before October 2006, it was known as Middle Henan Road station. The name was changed according to the new convention to name metro stations after famous streets or sights nearby rather than the vertical street neighbouring the station, making it easier for visitors to find these places.

Old sign showing the former name of the station, Middle Henan Road, used before October 2006.

This station is part of the initial section of Line 2 that opened from Zhongshan Park to Longyang Road that opened on 20 September 1999.[1][2][3] The interchange with the main branch of Line 10 section of the station opened on 10 April 2010.[4]
