History[]

Qingdao proposed a subway system in 1935, making it one of the first cities in China to propose a subway system. The proposed network was 42 km long and ran underground in the city center while elevated in the suburbs.[9] However, the plan never gained traction due to turmoil from the Second Sino-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War. Planning resumed in 1989 only to be stopped again in 1995 after a national suspension of subway projects was declared due to worries of high costs and financial debts.[10][11] Repeated attempts to gain approval for subway construction were unsuccessful until 2009 when it was finally approved by the NDRC and a test section of Line 3 started construction in July.[12]

Short-term plan[]

Phase 2 construction plan[]

The Phase 2 construction plan (2013-2021) of Qingdao Metro was approved by National Development and Reform Commission in April 2016.[13]

More transfer stations such as Taidong station and Liaoyang East Road station will be built, providing the citizens with more choices in transportation.

Line 4[]

Line 4 has been under construction since 2016, and is due to be completed in 2022[14] from Hall of the People station to Dahedong station.

Line 6[]

Construction for Line 6 started at December 16, 2019. Line 6 is a 30 km line with 21 underground stations.[15]

Line 2 (western extension)[]

A 3.84 km (2.39 mi) extension from Taishan Road to Lundu (Ferry Terminal) started construction on October 26, 2019.[16]

Phase 3 construction plan[]

The Phase 3 construction plan (2021-2026) of Qingdao Metro was approved by National Development and Reform Commission on August 19, 2021.[17][18]
