Line 7 started in 2002 as the Fangcun-Panyu-Huangpu Line which started from Xilang station on Line 1 and heads south to Panyu District. The line then roughly follows the existing first phase of Line 7 but runs slightly north,connecting to Line 2 and 3 at what today is Nanpu and Dashi Stations respectively. The line then heads east to serve and encourage development around the Xinzao and Hualong areas and cross the Pearl River to terminate at the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, [9] which today will be served by the under construction Line 5 Phase II extension.
Subsequently,Line 7's design was greatly revised in 2003,with the alignment east of Dashi was shifted north to Huangpu District via Shaxi,University Town and Changzhou Island. The interchange station with Line 3 was changed from Dashi to Hanxi Changlong station as constructed today. Additionally,the western terminus was changed to Guangzhou New Passenger Station,what is now Guangzhou South railway station. This shifted Line 7's plan to roughly follow what Line 7's Phase 1 and 2 are today.
During initial planning,Line 7 considered the use of 4 car L-type light metro trains for operation. However,severe congestion issues were created after the opening of Line 3,which only uses low capacity 3 car Type B trains and Line 6 which uses even lower capacity 4 car L-shaped trains,prompted heavy public criticism. Planners subsequently reevaluated the passenger flow forecasts for the entire line of Line 7,and upgraded the design to use 6 car B-type trains. Therefore,at the time of construction of Line 7,the partly completed station structures of Line 7 platforms at Guangzhou South Railway Station and Higher Education Mega Center South station were expanded to accommodate the longer trains.

The Guangzhou Metro is the rapid transit system of the city of Guangzhou in the Guangdong Province of China. It is operated by the state-owned Guangzhou Metro Corporation and was the fourth metro system to be built in mainland China, after those of Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai.
Urban rail transit in China encompasses a broad range of urban and suburban electric passenger rail mass transit systems including subway, light rail, tram and maglev. Some classifications also include non-rail bus rapid transport. As of 31 December 2022, China has the world's longest urban rail transit system with more than 9,500 km (5,900 mi) of urban rail nationwide in 49 systems in 47 cities, accounting for 9 of the 10 longest metro systems except Moscow Metro, or metro systems in Seoul combined if metro systems in the same cities are merged in the rank.
Guangzhounan railway station is located in Shibi, Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. It is a large modern rail terminal 17 kilometres (11 mi) south of central Guangzhou. For a brief time it was Asia's largest railway station by area when it officially started operation in early 2010.
Line 3 of the Guangzhou Metro is a 65.43-kilometer (40.66 mi) rapid transit line connects Panyu Square to Tianhe Coach Terminal. The entire line, including all track and stations, is located in tunnels. Its 57.93 km (36.00 mi) main branch, excluding the 7.5 km (4.66 mi) branch between Tianhe Coach Terminal and Tiyu Xilu, is now the third longest continuous subway tunnel in the world, and the longest rail tunnel of any kind.
The Foshan Metro is the rapid transit system of the city of Foshan in Guangdong, China. Guangfo line is operated by Guangzhou Metro Corporation, and all other lines are operated by the state-owned Foshan Rail Transit Group. It is the tenth metro system to be built in mainland China. Construction began in 2002 and the first line opened on 3 November 2010. The metro system has one new line and one extension under construction.
The Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region Intercity Railway System is a regional higher-speed rail and suburban rail network being gradually constructed in the Pearl River Delta, People's Republic of China. The project's goal is to have every major urban center in the Greater Bay Area to be within one-hour travel by rail to Guangzhou. On March 16, 2005, the State Council approved plans for a regional high-speed commuter rail network for the Jingjinji, Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. According to the plan, by 2020, the network will have a total route mileage of about 600 kilometres (370 mi). In September 2009, the plan was expanded to 1,478 km (918 mi) of routes split up into 23 lines. In the long term vision network length will reach 1,890 km (1,170 mi) by 2030. By then the network will provide basic coverage to the Pearl River Delta region. The Suishen ICR, Guanhui ICR and Guangfozhao ICR accept Alipay, avoiding the need to purchase tickets in advance.
