We also know that the (Hangzhou Metro) Line 5 is the "King of Transfers" on our (Hangzhou) Metro Line. It also has a lot of stations. There are now 39 stations, and 16 of these 39 stations They are all interchange stations. With the opening of the rear pass, it connects our 7 urban districts in Hangzhou, so in fact, while facilitating passenger travel, it also greatly enhances our citizens' sense of gain and happiness.
[Explanation] Li Na said that the station decoration of Line 5 takes Hangzhou "Humanities Story" as the starting point, extracts the dynamic curve of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as elements to shape the space, and runs through the whole line, "traversing" Hangzhou with humanistic feelings. For example, Lvting Road Station extracts the leaves of Longjing Tea as design elements; Chuangjing Road Station uses starry sky and science fiction as the inspiration for design.
[Explanation] On the day of opening, many citizens came to experience the purchase of tickets. Many Hangzhou citizens said that the opening of the line has brought great convenience to the people of Hangzhou.

I have been looking forward to this line for 8 years. The earliest was Line 1 (Metro) in 2012. Then this time after the opening of Line 5 (post-pass section), a lot of lines are connected, which is the gospel of the people of Hangzhou. So I am very happy. Anyway today, despite the epidemic, I came to participate in this event.

I originally wanted to take this first trip, take two stations, and then come back again, and then take a look at the number of transfer points in this subway. I'll take a look here. As for me, I feel that traveling in Hangzhou is very convenient now.
