[1] It is located underground at the southwest of the intersection of Baiyun Avenue South,[2] Xiatang Road West[3] and Guangyuan Road Middle[4] in Baiyun District.

As the name of the station suggests, it is located underground of the Sanyuanli Campus of the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

The station was originally planned to be located under Xiatang West Road, but due to the need to demolish the Xiatang West Viaduct and nearby shops, the project was large, so the site was eventually moved west to Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

Some citizens believed that the station was built with the strong support of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and that the name "Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Station" was more indicative.

[13] One month later, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Guangzhou issued a statement on soliciting opinions, believing that the station was located within Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and that "Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Station" was a clear and accurate indication, while "Guangyuan Xincun" generally referred to the area opposite the station and north of Guangyuan Road Middle, and that names such as "Guangyuan Xincun, Guangyuan" were not appropriate.
