Line 6, Guangzhou Metro

Line 6 of the Guangzhou Metro (Chinese: 广州地铁6号线; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Dìtiě Liù Hào Xiàn) or Luogang Line (Chinese: 萝岗线; pinyin: Luógǎng Xiàn) runs from Liwan District to Luogang District. It starts at Xunfenggang and ends at Xiangxue, interchanging with Line 5 at Tanwei, Line 1 at Huangsha, Line 8 at Cultural Park, Line 2 at Haizhu Square, Line 1 at Dongshankou, Line 5 at Ouzhuang, Line 3 at Yantang and Tianhe Coach Terminal Station. The color of Line 6 is Purple. The total length is 41.9 km with 32 stations. Line 6 serves densely populated areas including residential communities in Jinshazhou, the pedestrian street in Beijing Lu and wholesale markets in Shahe. Nevertheless, Line 6, which runs four-car trains, has long had a questionable train capacity. The phase one section between Xunfenggang and Changban began to provide service from December 28, 2013 with the exception of Yide Lu and Shahe stations. Yide Lu Station opened over a year later on 28 January 2015. The second phase of Line 6 from Changban to Xiangxue has been in operation since Dec.28, 2016.
