Besides Kengkou and Silang, all stations in line 1 are under the ground. Line 2 Line 2 is a north-south line that runs from Jiahewanggang to Guangzhou Southern Railway Station. It interchanges with Line 1 in Gongyuanqian, Line 5 at Guangzhou railway station, and Line 8 in Changan. Line 3 is a 67.3 km line connecting South Airport and the Tianhe bus terminal to Panyu Square. All the stations of the line are underground. Line 4 Line 4 is a north-south line, running parallel to Line 2 along the east of the city. It is 43.7 km long with 16 stations. A section of the line from Huangkun to Xinzao is built underground, while from Xinzao to Jinzhou are built on a elevated track. It was the first metro line in mainland China where line trains were used. Line 5 Line 5: 31.9 km Long Line 5 starts in Jiaoku and runs to Wengzhong. It entered service on December 28, 2009. All of the line's stations, except Jiaoku and Tanwei, are underground. Line 8 : The first section of Line 8, from Syaogan to Wanshengwei, opened in 2002 and operated as part of Line 2 until the extension of the line was completed in September 2010. Line 8 runs from Fenghuang Xinkun to Wangshengwei. The Guangfo Guangzhou-Foshan Line Section of the Pearl Intercity River Rapid Transit is the long-distance metro line that connects Guangzhou and Foshan. It is commonly known as the Guangfo Metro and Guangfo lines of the Guangzhou metro. The site in Foshan also doubles as line 1 FMetro (Foshan Metro). Chujiang New City Automated People's Movement System (APM) Automated People's Movement System zhujiang New Town Main District Municipal Traffic Project Underground Automated People Traffic, which serves the central business district of Chujiang New City. It is commonly known as the New Town Automated People Move System or APM for short. At a length of 3.9 km, it connects Linhexi and Chigan Pagoda with nine stations on the line. Suggested reading In July 2017, Craig Moore sent a few impressions from Guangzhou: the largest city in southern China, Guangzhou was the fourth city in the People's Republic of China, where the metro operates. Now aged 20, the system has seen a gradual expansion during this period and now has 9 lines and automated Mover people covering 299.6 km (3.9 km People Mover) (266.7 km metro) - the 8th longest and 4th busiest metro in the world. In addition, the city and its metro form the northern part of the the Pearl Delta Rapid Transit System, which includes Dongguan, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Although not yet fully The 150 km between Guangzhou and Hong Kong is home to 5 metro systems, 29 lines, an 850 km route (624 km underground) and 434 stations - quite something! Line 1 is 18.5 km (16.6 km underground) and runs through the traditional city centre. Its stations have a basic Chinese model and transmission stations (especially Tiyu Xilu) have huge entry zones with several barrier paths to cope with high passenger levels. Some of the original pale mustard Siemens promotions are still in use, and it's worth stopping at class stations level (Kengkou or Xilang) to see them at work. Xilang is a large, multi-platform structure with dated furniture, signage and a ticket room, offering a lengthy transition to the Guanfo line - and here the juxtaposition of the two styles/eras is interesting. Line 2 is the westernest of the two metro lines from north to south and has a more modern look with bold glazed tiles at stations and platforms. As in Line 1, it is a busy line and connects to 5 (soon 6) other lines. It uses smart white Bombardier shares and is completely underground at 31.4 km. On the northernmost line 2 there is a restless junction with the northern branch of Line 3 in Jaihawangang, where it forms a parallel line from north to south in the east of the city. On Line 3, the main line runs from the Tianhe bus terminal to Panyu Square in the far south (33.1 km) and to Tiyu Xilu's single platform line allow a cross-platform interchange at a 32.3 km branch northward to the airport. It is a fully underground line (the longest all-underground line in the world) and the busiest in the system. It's massively crowded (Tiyu Xilu in Kekun especially), even with 3min base headways and line in/out of the airport takes ages, especially with the stampede on Tiyu Xilu to change trains. The airport station is located at the end of the old main terminal (Guangzhou is a massive airport) and although well signed and with a huge ticket hall, it is chaotic at peak times with people trying to understand the system. If Line 3 from the airport is your first metro experience, don't let it tarnish your views - it gets better! Line 4 is a good example of improvement. The 46.4 km long line runs southeast through the less dense areas of the city towards the mouth of the city. Only one third of the line (16.5 km) is underground and the elevated line behind Xinzao has significant station gaps with good line speeds as you see much more rural/agricultural vistas - a wonderful journey and a pleasant change from the upheavals and crushes of downtown operations. Line 5 runs from east to west and is one of the nicest lines with modern, functional stations, glazed tiles and smart stock. It has a 31.7km revenue track that is underground, with the exception of the last 2.1 km in the east, housing Tanwei (to transfer 6 Metro Stations) and Jiaokou stations, rapidly developing City. In this part of the city the bowl-shaped line 6 has a 2.9 km elevated section around Hengsch (side platforms/half screens) before turning east through the city and then northeast to Xiangxue. The 41.4 km line is one of the new additions to the system (especially east of Chanban) and the metro stations are very smart with a pale green hue, mostly island platforms and full screens. Patronage levels are currently in operation and the 4-car stock is running, although the stations are built for standard 6-cars. Line 7 is completely underground (17.4 km), duplicating Line 2 southwest to Shibi (another experience between old and new lines at the moment). The line then goes east as a tangent line to the heMC South (transmission to line 4). Although following the standard design plan for stations and platforms, this latest opening in the Guangzhou network is more daring with stylized color schemes, pillars, ceilings and entrance porticos. The line has the lowest headways on the tube (7 minutes!), but it's a lovely smooth and quiet ride. Line 8 runs south of the Pearl River in Haizu, parallel to Line 5. At 14.6 km, this fully underground line is the shortest on the system, although it is of great strategic importance, connecting with line 4, the tram TK1 in Wanshengwei, and the two main lines from north to south (line 2/3) at very busy interchanges. In the west there is a cross-platform crossing to the Guanfo line in Shayuan. This line helps to illustrate the gradual improvements in the system over the years, built 8-9 years ago. Its stations follow a pattern model, but have more differences than previous lines with bold color and calligraphy. They are, however, a far cry from the more muted, cool and fresh stations on the latest system extensions. The Guanfo (GF) line is 32.8 km long and is also completely underground. This line is very different from the other 8 lines. Heading west to Longxi (the last station in Guangzhou), the line runs under the Foshan Canal and through Foshan. Foshan is a separate city from Guangzhou and like Incheon, Taoyuan, etc., the line can be considered between cities with different ownership and exploitation from its older sister. Although it is fully integrated with the Guangzhou Metro, it is installed on all maps of the system as just another Guangzhou line, and has joint tickets and a barrier-free interchange, there are few differences to note. The staff has a different shape, there is a different logo (actually 2 different logos - GGIC and FMetro), ticket machines are different, there are different types and color schemes for stations and CNR stock is used. The line is operated by Guangdong Guangfo Inter-City (GGIC), a company co-owned by Guangzhou Metro (51%) and Guangzhou Metro (51%). and the Foshan Metro (49%) with a 19-kilometre section (15 stations) operating within the boundaries of Foshan (Xingcheng East to FHT) also branded as Line 1 FMetro (Foshan Metro). Once the new FMetro lines are completed, then this line will have more clarity in its identity. The GMC also operates the New City APM. It has a 3.9km automated line with nine stations running from the south of the river to Canton Tower (5 minutes walk to the tram), through the new CBD and north to Lynexy.
