History

The line was expected to start construction in 2002 with a tentative opening in 2009.[3][4][5] However, due to capital shortage, its construction was claimed to be suspended until it resumed in 2007.[6] The section between Kuiqi Lu and Xilang was completed in 2010. The Xilang–Yangang section began operation on December 28, 2015.[7] The section between Yangang and Lijiao was completed in 2018.[8]

Since 24 April 2016, Wi-Fi is available across the entire line.[9]

Future Development

Guangzhou section

An eastern extension from Lijiao to Dashacundong is under planning. The extension will be 2.4 km (1.49 mi) in length.[10]
