History

The station was named Dalang during planning and construction and was originally an elevated station. In 2010, after the Ministry of Railways intervened in the construction of the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region intercity railway, the line scheme was redesigned. Finally, at the suggestion of Dongguan City and the towns and streets along the line, in order to avoid cutting the urban planning, the urban area of Dongguan and the Liaobu and Changping sections were changed from elevated to underground, so the station was adjusted to an underground station, and moved about 1km eastward to the current site.^{[3]: 87, 92–97 [4]}

In order to avoid the same name as the national railway station, the station was named Dalang Town at the end of 2015.^[5]
