Line 1 of theHangzhou Metro (Chinese:杭州地铁一号线;pinyin:Hángzhōu Dìtiě Yī Hào Xiàn) is an arc-shapedrapid transit line running fromXianghu station in westernXiaoshan District toXiaoshan International Airport in easternXiaoshan District, passing through downtownHangzhou. 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 theHangzhou Metro, which holds a 51% share, and the Hong Kong-basedMTR Corporation Ltd., which holds a 49% share. As a result, the voice of Cheri Chan Yu-yan, the announcer of theHong Kong MTR, can be heard on the English announcements on this line.[3]

After the Linping branch of Line 1 became part of Line 9, Line 1 now runs fully underground.
The line begins atXianghu station inXiaoshan 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 ofBinjiang District. The line then crosses theQiantang River in a tunnel.
Upon reaching Shangcheng District on the north side of the Qiantang River, the line passes by the HangzhouPublic Security Bureau's headquarters and runs for a short distance along Wujiang Road toHangzhou Railway Station. It reaches the downtown "U" portion of the line, which is one of the busiest parts of the line, running next theWest Lake Scenic Area along Yan'an Road.
The line crosses under theGrand Canal near the Wulinmen Dock and curves eastward towardsHangzhoudong 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 toQibao station. AtCoach Center station, the Linping branch of the line formerly branched off from the main line towardsLinping station, but this branch of the line has since become part ofLine 9.
Upon reachingXiasha Subdistrict, the line runs along Jinsha Avenue and 2nd Street until it reachesSouth Wenhai Road station, where passengers can transfer toLine 8 to continue to the east end ofQiantang District. The line then curves southwards and runs along 25th Street toXiashajiangbin 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 toXiaoshan District. It passes through some low-density areas, crosses under one of the runways ofHangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, and finally terminates atXiaoshan International Airport station, located among the terminals.[7]
