Zoo Station (Chinese: 动物园站), formerly planned to be called "Guangzhou Zoo South Entrance Station" (Chinese: 动物园南门站),[1] is a station on Line 5 of the Guangzhou Metro [2] in Guangzhou, China. It is located below the junction of Tianhe Road (天河路), Huanshi Road East (Chinese: 环市东路; pinyin: Huanshi Donglu) and Shuiyin Road (Chinese: 水荫路; pinyin: Shuiyin Lu) in the Yuexiu District, near the south gate of Guangzhou Zoological Garden (广州动物园).[3][4] It opened on 28 December 2009.[5]

Zoo Station was not in the original plan but was added later, between Ouzhuang Station and Yangji Station after a request by Guangzhou citizens. Due to space limitations it is designed on three levels like Hong Kong MTR stations. The top underground floor is the concourse, below that is the platform for trains towards Wenchong Station and the lowest level is for trains towards Jiaokou Station. It is the first station in Guangzhou Metro system to have this Hong Kong-style multilevel design.[6]
