History

edit

In the original plan this station is named East Zone of Cotai station (Chinese: 路氹城東站; Portuguese: Estação Zona Este do Cotai). Building work of this and three other stations in Cotai began in 2012.[1] Although completed in 2016, the opening of the station was delayed due to ongoing work at Taipa line train depot.

The station opened on 10 December 2019 along with the Taipa line.[2] The bridge linking Grand Hyatt Macau and Wynn Palace opened in advance in May 2019.[3]
