Future development

In the initial plan of 2008, Line 2 spans from Luojia Town in the east to Wangcheng (Chinese: 望城) in the west, and is 39 km in length in the long-term plan.[5] Its Phase 1 starts from CR Nanchang West station to Hongdu Zhong Dadao,[6] which was extended to Xinjia'an to the east in the end of 2010 and then extended further south to Jiulonghu in early 2013.[7][8]

  • South extension: Phase 2 extends Line 2 from Zhanqian Nan Dadao, which is transferrable to Line 4 to Shengmi Town;
  • East extension: Phase 2 extends Line 2 to Luojia town via Xinjia'an.
