Datang station () is an interchange station between Line 3 and Line 11 of the Guangzhou Metro. Line 3 started operations on 28December 2006. Line 11 started operations on 28December 2024. It is located underground Datang Village () along East Xinjiao Road () in Haizhu District. It is near the Taxation Bureau of Haizhu district () and the Tianxiong Cloth Market Center (), as well as to the north of Haizhu Lake ().
The station has 5 points of entry/exit. Exits B and D were opened with the station's initial opening, and later on Exit A also opened. When Line 11 opened, Exits C and E opened, and a passage was added next to Exit D to connect to the non-paid area of the Line 11 concourse, so the signs leading to Exit D from the Lines 3 and 11 concourses were marked as 'Gate 1' and 'Gate 2' for distinction.
Exit C is accessible via elevator and Exit D is accessible via stairlift.
On 26 December 2001, Datang Station started construction as the experimental section of Line 3 and was topped out on 26 January 2003, becoming the first station to be topped out in the first phase of Line 3. The station also serves as the starting station for the three shield machines of the first phase of Line 3, which play a commanding role in the entire project. On 30 December 2006, the station was officially opened with the first phase of Line 3.
In 2009, the southern half of the Circular Line in the Ring Road Plan was expanded to the Yijing Road and Xinjiao Road corridors south of Line 8, and the station was set up to intersect with Line 3 at the same time. In 2012, Line 11 was included in the 12th Five-Year Plan for Rail Transportation in Guangzhou and was approved, and the construction of Line 11 of this station was also implemented simultaneously.
The construction of the main station structure of the Line 11 station began in March 2020, and the main structure was topped out on December 8. At the beginning of November, the station completed the "three rights" transfer. On 28 December, the station was opened with the opening of Line 11, and the station became an interchange station.
During COVID-19 pandemic control rules in 2022, the station was affected by prevention and control measures many times and needed to adjust its services. During the epidemic in April, the station was suspended from 12 to 17 April. During the year-end epidemic, the station was suspended from 20:00 on 30 October to the afternoon of 30 November.
