Countdown to the Guangzhou Asian Games: Guangzhou Metro Line 3

All this week we’re profiling the new lines and extensions being added to the Guangzhou Metro before the Asian Games.

Line 3 is a branched line, running north-south. The new northern extension, predicted to open on October 16, 2010, will extend the line to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, providing a metro link to the airport for the first time. An official announcement has not yet been made, it's possible that Airport North station will open at a later date. Another new key station will be Jiahewanggang, providing interchange with Metro Line 2.
