The Chinese city of Guangzhou (formerly known as Canton) is the capital of the Guangdong Province and has 7 million inhabitants. It is situated in the south of the country near Hong Kong. Construction of a subway network was approved in 1989 and construction started in 1993.
Line 1 was inaugurated on 28 June 1999. It was built as a turnkey project by a consortium led by Siemens and has a total length of 18.5 km with 16 stations. Apart from Keng Kou and Xi Lang all stations are underground. 21 air-conditioned 6-car-trains were supplied by Adtranz. They operate in ATO-mode. The metro runs at an average speed of 36 km/h. A trip along the entire route takes 32 minutes. Service on the central section of Line 2 (23.3 km with 20 stations - 17 underground, 2 elevated and 1 at grade) started in Dec 2002, more than a year ahead of schedule. Trains were produced by a joint venture of Adtranz and Changchun Car Company. The 26 Adtranz Movia trains were built in Germany and in China.
