History In the early stage of Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway planning, there was an elevated station called Dongguan Boulevard on the northwest side of Shuilianshan Reservoir. In 2010, after the Ministry of Railways intervened in the construction of the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region intercity railway, the line scheme was redesigned. Finally, at the suggestion of Dongguan City and the towns and streets along the line, in order to avoid cutting the urban planning and avoid ecologically sensitive points such as Shuilian Mountain Forest Park and Tongsha Forest Park, the Dongguan urban area, Liaobu and Changping sections were changed from elevated to underground, so the station was adjusted to the underground Xincheng Center Station (also known as Dongguan Xincheng Station) and shifted northeast to the current site. In February 2012, the site was officially excavated.
Since the name of the project "Xincheng Center Station" is superimposed and does not conform to the railway naming rules, and "Nancheng Station" and "Xiping Station" have been occupied by other stations, the station was named Xiping West at the end of 2015. On 28 December 2017, the station was opened with the opening of the southern section of Dongguan–Huizhou Intercity (now Guangzhou–Huizhou Intercity Railway) between and .
The station was operated by China Railway Guangzhou Group when it was opened, and was transferred to Guangdong Intercity on 23 January 2024.
Usage The station is located in the CBD of Dongguan New Town, and is the only station in the Dongguan–Huizhou section that can be connected to urban rail transit, and has performed well in passenger flow since its opening, and is the station with the highest passenger flow in the Dongguan–Huizhou section. In May 2024, after the Guanghui Intercity and Guangzhao Intercity lines were put into operation, it attracted a large number of cross-city passengers to take trains at this station, and this station has become the station with the highest passenger flow among the five cities spanned by the two lines.
