Futian Checkpoint Station (Chinese: 福田口岸站) is a terminus of Shenzhen Metro Longhua Line. It started operations on 28 June 2007. It is located at the ground level of Futian Port Control Point (Chinese: 福田口岸管制站) in Futian District, Shenzhen, People's Republic of China, and it is the only ground station in Shenzhen Metro. Futian Port Control Point and Futian Checkpoint Station are connected to Hong Kong's Lok Ma Chau Station by a footbridge.[1][2]
The station was called "Huanggang Station" (Chinese: 皇岗站) because its location is near Huanggang, which is also an immigration control point between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. But it has been renamed to "Futiankouan Station" since 15 August 2008 to avoid confusion between Futian Port and Huanggang Port.[3][4] "Kouan" (口岸) means a (immigration) port. Starting from July 1, 2010, with MTR Shenzhen taking over the operations and management of Longhua Line, the English name Futian Checkpoint is now being used.
