At long last anyone hoping to stay in Nanjing during the foreseeable future can make plans as to where they may wish to live. As the first concrete information emerges confirming the exact location of metro stations on lines set to open before the Youth Olympic Games in August, now is the time to put down the deposit on that swanky flat you have had your eye on.
While the authorities have been keeping tight lipped about revealing any precise schedule for the opening of the the new metro lines, for fear of being called out should disaster strike, as we draw closer the Games there is a tangible feeling of being drip fed nuggets of information.
This much is clear. Three new metro lines will open in Nanjing before August 2014; line 10 (operating initially as an extension to line 1 from Andemen), the airport express line (also known as line 6, line S1 or the Nanjing-Gaochun Intercity line) and line S8 (connecting Liuhe District to Pukou District, on account that the YOG sailing events will be held on Jinniu Lake).
Below are listed the stations for each of the new routes.
