Site inspections are already being conducted by an expedition team, the China's State Oceanic Administration (SOA) said.
A summer station that can be used from December to March will be set up between the existing Zhongshan and Kunlun Stations to provide replenishment and other logistical support, the SOA said.
The station will be used to study geology, glaciers, geomagnetism and atmospheric science in Antarctica, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
A perennial station will also be built in Victoria Land in Antarctica by 2015.
China's three existing Antarctic research stations are the Great Wall, Zhongshan and Kunlun.
