雨后彩虹,浪漫且温暖。
Rainbow, romantic and warm.
广州地铁别出心裁,将彩虹留在了八号线彩虹桥站内几方天地。
Guangzhou Metro is keeping the rainbow in a station, namely Caihongqiao Station,which means “Rainbow Bridge” in Chinese.

据广州地铁消息,八号线彩虹桥站将于9月28日首班车开始正式开通初期运营。
The construction of Caihongqiao Station of Guangzhou Metro Line 8 has been completed and the first train is scheduled to start its preliminary operation on September 28, according to Guangzhou Metro.
彩虹桥站位于荔湾路和东风西路的交叉路口南侧,靠近流花湖公园、美食一条街西华路等地。
Caihongqiao Station is located on the south side of the intersection of Liwan Road and Dongfeng West Road, near Liuhuahu Park and Xihua Road.

作为八号线和在建的十一、十三号线三线换乘站,彩虹桥站总建筑面积约8.6万平方米,相当于四个标准车站体量,开通时将有A、C、D三个出入口同步投入使用。
As an important interchange station, Caihongqiao connects Line 8, Line 11, and Line 13 as a transit hub. The construction area of the station is about 86,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 4 normal stations. When this station opens, three entrances and exits, namely A, C and D will be put into use simultaneously.

车站天花设计紧扣“彩虹”主题,装设曲线格栅和变色灯带,可调节灯光亮度和色调,灯光开启时如同彩虹在天上流动。
The ceiling design of the station is closely related to "rainbow". Curved grilles and color-changing light strips are installed to adjust the brightness and hue of the lights, and they will flow like a rainbow in the sky with the lights on.

车站A、C出入口地面分别利用彩色瓷砖、彩虹玻璃形成“彩虹墙”,D出入口通道利用光线折射形成“彩虹墙”。天、地、墙的“彩虹”元素设计,让整个车站极具文化艺术特色,让乘客从进站开始就感受到无处不在的“彩虹”华章。
Colored tiles and rainbow glasses are used to form a "rainbow wall" at the exit A and C, while light refraction is used at Exit D. Those rainbow-related designs on the ceilings, floors and wall bring a cultural and artistic smell to the whole station, allowing passengers to enjoy the beauty everywhere here.

开通当天,广州地铁将会开展线下打卡活动,采用真花布景,增加3D全息投影,在车站内布置一个集合地铁LOGO、彩虹、鲜花元素的艺术景观打卡点,为车站增添清新和活力的同时,象征广州地铁绿色出行理念。
On the opening day (September 28), Guangzhou Metro will carry out an offline check-in activity, using real flowers and 3D holographic projection to set an artistic landscape check-in zone in the station that integrates subway LOGO, rainbow, and flowers. Not only does it aim at bringing freshness and vitality to the station, but symbolize the concept of green travel in Guangzhou Metro.
