The northern part of Hangzhou Metro Line 9 started operations on Sept 17.

The northern part stretches about 6.2 kilometers and is linked by four stations, namely Qiushan Avenue, Heyu Road, Wuzhou Road, and Long'an. The first train departs from Long'an Station at 6:02 am, with a maximum speed of 80 km per hour.

Operations of the new stations will greatly benefit residents living north of Linping Mountain. It will take only one hour to reach West Lake from Long'an Station, said Ge Guan'ao, a staff member of Long'an Station.
