From an overall planning perspective, Xiamen will have a total of ten metro lines in the future, with a total scale of 400 kilometers, including 8 regular lines and 2 express lines. These ten lines will run through all districts both on and off Xiamen Island, connecting Xiamen with surrounding areas.
According to introduction: "It should be said that the implementation of Xiamen's line network, the first stage is what we usually call Lines 1, 2, and 3, known as three-direction off-island. Line 1 goes north to Jimei, Line 2 goes west to Haicang, and Line 3 goes east to Xiang'an, mainly to solve the problems of traffic corridors and strong connections between the island and off-island areas; the second stage is called ring-bay connection, which is Line 4 and the first phase of Line 6 currently under implementation. This connects several clusters off the island through rail transit, allowing the off-island areas to form a strong support for the island." Among the 10 metro lines, there are 8 regular lines and 2 express lines. For example, the currently under-construction Line 4 is one of the express lines. It is different from other lines in that the average station spacing has been extended to 4-5 kilometers, so the train speed will reach 120 kilometers per hour. This also means that in the future, it will take only 30 minutes to reach Xiang'an Airport from Xiamen North Station.
Currently, on Xiamen Metro Line 2, out of 32 stations, 9 have completed main structure construction, and out of 33 sections, 26 have started construction. The excavation progress of the entire cross-sea section has reached 70%. On Metro Line 3, out of 26 stations, 1 station has completed main structure construction, and 21 stations are undergoing enclosure and structure construction; on Line 4, out of 10 stations, 8 have started construction, and 8 sections have started. On Line 6, Maluan Central Station and Maluan West Station are undergoing enclosure structure construction, while Jimei Island Station and Xibin Road Intersection Station are undergoing cofferdam structure construction. They will connect Xiamen Island and off-island districts more closely, further promoting Xiamen's economic construction and cross-island development.
