Guangzhou M21'

Breaking News!

I declare hereby that line 21 rest extension in Guangzhou is now in service on the 20th December!


The southern terminus of line 21: now officially Yuancun.

Being the second line classified as a suburban metro line, line 21 connects the least urban district Zengcheng to the city centre (via line 5) in its 61.5 km and beares many similarities to its predecessor, line 14, including the operation by local and express trains. 

Take the escalator downstairs, and begin the trip!


At the first station Yuancun.

The pathenon of Guangzhou Metro: Tianhe Park. In the vast concourse up to 70,000 m², passengers will be traversing between the tracks of three lines on their way to work/back home. 

Such size that escalators are installed to speeden up the interchange: that's how immense it is.


The domes garnished with sequin emit lustre much resemblant to stained glass.

Info centre as if in an airport.

Huangcun station, with an interchange to line 4. 

...Wait. Isn't there something "projected" on the panel on the upper right side? What could that be?

Now we can get a closer view. So this is actually information about the ETA, heading and the "class" of the upcoming trains being projected onto an otherwise blank panel. Apart from the acoustic announcements which the staff calls out indefatigably upon each incoming train, various ways of displaying were also elaborated.

(If you look close enough, you can see that the express only stops at stations between Yuancun - Daguannanlu and Suyuan, Zhenlong, Fenggang and Zengcheng Square - basically all the interchange stations and the termini. Please note that this information might have been adjusted - the use of projection also makes adjustments easier.)

I'm so much obliged to have the honour to mark the line on the list.
