The station started construction on the west concourse on 19 May 2017, where it completed the hoisting of the first diaphragm wall steel cage into the groove in July of the same year,[6] excavated the deep foundation pit in April 2018,[7] and the west concourse was topped out in January 2020.

[9][10] The construction of the east concourse of the station required the demolition and relocation of the Huagui Community, where 89 households had to be moved, and an area of 9,400 square meters were needed to be expropriated.

On 13 September 2018, the relevant authorities of the metro issued a letter requesting comments, saying that because only 50 households had signed the agreement, and the remaining 39 households did not agree to the requisition, the demolition work had little effect, so the housing requisition party in Baiyun District believed that the time for the completion of the expropriation was uncontrollable.

The relevant departments of the metro wanted to opt for the second option, but for that, passengers need to walk from Ziyuangang to Guangzhou Railway Station and metro station via Jiefang Road North and Huanshi Road West, which is 1.4 kilometers and takes 20 minutes.

According to a poll initiated by the radio's self-media, nearly seventy percent of the respondents suggested choosing Guihuagang as the station name.

[14] A month later, the Civil Affairs Bureau issued a statement for soliciting opinions, acknowledging that the public's suggestion that the site should be named "Guihuagang" and "Zoumagang" has a certain degree of reasonableness, and is working with relevant departments to conduct in-depth research and demonstration.
