Residents can now take Metro to Yantian District to enjoy a view of the mountains and the sea as Line 8's Phase II started operation this morning.

Line 8’s Phase II starts from Phase I’s Yantian Road Station and ends at Xiaomeisha Station. It spans 8 kilometers with four stations, namely Hong’anwei, Yantianxu, Dameisha, and Xiaomeisha.

Along the line, Yantian District is presenting its natural and cultural riches to eastbound travelers, with landmarks such as the Yantian coastal promenade, Meisha Bay Beach, and the Dameisha and Xiaomeisha tourist attractions. The four stations’ designs also reflect Yantian’s marine feature, in addition to the district’s reputation for green tourism.
