Station closure & re-opening According to CNA, the station was abandoned due to its remote location and low passenger patronage. CNA also found that while the station's facilities remain intact, such as escalators, security scanners and platforms, it described station doors as being shut "all day" and cobwebs clinging to corners of the station.
The station was re-opened on the 28th of September 2024 to 'serve the flow of tourists, scenic spots, transfers and commuters'. Additionally, services on the Zhengji line were increased, allowing passengers to reach Zhengzhou East in less than 15 minutes.
