East Kangqiao station (Chinese: 康桥东站; pinyin: Kāng qiáo dōng zhàn) is an underground railway station on the Airport Link Line of the Shanghai Suburban Railway.
The station is located within the Shanghai Outer Ring Expressway Protected Green Space, surrounded by dense water works.
The entrances and exits connect with leisure facilities outside the station and are designed in the form of a semi-arched canopy in the shape of a water wave.
[2] The theme of the station design was "entering the waters" (Chinese: 入水) and attempts to reflect both the technological innovations and progress made by Zhangjiang and the dense waterworks surrounding the station.
[7] According to calculations made in Song et al. (2024), if the airport link line operates with both express and local trains, the crossing point for the express trains towards both Hongqiao and Pudong Airport will be at East Kangqiao station.
