Hit song makes Guangzhou metro station a cultural hot spot

A hit song named after the Jiahewanggang metro station in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has rekindled people's memories and triggered their emotions nationwide.

"Next stop, we'll each head our own way, breaking up in Jiahewanggang's night," goes a line in the song sung by Hailai Amu, a member of the Yi ethnic group, in his gravelly, evocative voice.

Located in Wanggang village in the Jiahe sub-district of Guangzhou's Baiyun district, the metro station opened in 2010. It handles a daily passenger flow of up to 380,000 people, second only to Tiyuxilu station on the city's urban rail network — and sometimes surpassing it.
