Tiyu Xilu Station (Chinese: 体育西路站; literally "Tiyu(Sports) Road West Station") is an interchange station of Line 1 and Line 3 of the Guangzhou Metro. It started operations on 28 June 1999 (for Line 1) and 26 December 2005 (for Line 3) respectively. It is situated at the underground of Tiyu Road West (Chinese: 体育西路; pinyin: Tiyu Xilu) and Tianhe 1st Road South (Chinese: 天河南一路; pinyin: Tianhe Nanyilu) of Tianhe District. It is near Teem Plaza (Chinese: 天河城广场) and Guangzhou Books Center (Chinese: 广州购书中心) and this makes it one of the busiest metro stations in Guangzhou.[1][2][3]

The platforms for Line 1 are in the standard island platform layout whilst on line 3 there are 2 island platforms serving 3 tracks. Northbound services to Tianhe Coach Terminal and Southbound services to Panyu Square use the outer tracks whilst the shuttle service to Guangzhou East Railway Station uses the single centre track. The doors open on both sides of the centre track to allow a cross-platform interchange in both directions.
