Line 1 of the Hangzhou Metro (Chinese: 杭州地铁一号线; pinyin: Hángzhōu Dìtiě Yī Hào Xiàn) is an arc-shaped rapid transit line running from Xianghu station in western Xiaoshan District to Xiaoshan International Airport in eastern Xiaoshan District, passing through downtown Hangzhou. The line opened on 24 November 2012. It is the oldest in the city's metro network.^[2]

The line is 52 km (32 mi) long with 33 stations.

The line is operated by Hangzhou MTR, a consortium consisting of the Hangzhou Metro, which holds a 51% share, and MTR Corporation Ltd., which holds a 49% share. As a result, the voice of Cheri Chan Yu-yan, the announcer of the Hong Kong MTR, can be heard on the English announcements on this line.^[3]

Route description

After the Linping branch of Line 1 became part of Line 9, Line 1 now runs fully underground.

The line begins at Xianghu station in Xiaoshan District, located just north of its namesake lake. Located adjacent to Xianghu station is the Xianghu Stabling Yard, where some of the line's trains are stored and where the metro is headquartered. The line proceeds northwards along Fengqing Avenue, Bin'an Road and Jiangling Road through the central part of Binjiang District. The line then crosses the Qiantang River in a tunnel.

Upon reaching Shangcheng District on the north side of the Qiantang River, the line passes by the Hangzhou Public Security Bureau's headquarters and runs for a short distance along Wujiang Road to Hangzhou Railway Station. It reaches the downtown "U" portion of the line, which is one of the busiest parts of the line, running next the West Lake Scenic Area along Yan'an Road.

The line crosses under the Grand Canal near the Wulinmen Dock and curves eastward towards Hangzhoudong Railway Station. Its respective metro station, East Railway Station, is located underneath the arrivals hall of the station. The line continues to proceed eastward along Jiuhe Road, past the Qibao Depot, another depot on the line located adjacent to Qibao station. At Coach Center station, the Linping branch of the line formerly branched off from the main line towards Linping station, but this branch of the line has since become part of Line 9.

Upon reaching Xiasha Subdistrict, the line runs along Jinsha Avenue and 2nd Street until it reaches South Wenhai Road station, where passengers can transfer to Line 8 to continue to the east end of Qiantang District. The line then curves southwards and runs along 25th Street to Xiashajiangbin Station, the terminus of short-turn trains (roughly every other train).

The line crosses the Qiantang River in a tunnel a second time and returns to Xiaoshan District. It passes through some low-density areas, crosses under one of the runways of Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, and finally terminates at Xiaoshan International Airport station, located among the terminals.^[7]
