As the first rail transit project in Jinhua, the Jinhua-Yiwu-Dongyang line started construction on July 28, 2017. With a total length of 107.17 kilometers and a total investment of 34.7 billion yuan, the line has 31 stations, making it the longest single municipal rail transit line in China.
The line operates at a speed of 120 km/h, and the maximum one-way transport capacity is 60,000 people per hour.
The rail is composed of the Jinhua downtown-Yiwu section and the Yiwu-Dongyang (Hengdian) section. People can transfer between the two lines at Qintang Station in Yiwu at the same platform.
The design of each station features cultural elements related to Jinhua. At Jinhua Station, the connecting passage is designed as a cultural corridor, and items with Jinhua characteristics such as the Wuzhou kiln and Jinhua ham can be seen on the wall.
