Line 6 of the Guangzhou Metro (Chinese: 广州地铁6号线; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Dìtiě Liù Hào Xiàn) or Luogang Line (Chinese: 萝岗线; pinyin: Luógǎng Xiàn) runs from Liwan District to Luogang District. It starts at Xunfenggang and ends at Xiangxue, interchanging with Line 5 at Tanwei, Line 1 at Huangsha, Line 8 at Cultural Park, Line 2 at Haizhu Square, Line 1 at Dongshankou, Line 5 at Ouzhuang, Line 3 at Yantang and Tianhe Coach Terminal Station. The color of Line 6 is Purple. The total length is 41.9 km with 32 stations. Line 6 serves densely populated areas including residential communities in Jinshazhou, the pedestrian street in Beijing Lu and wholesale markets in Shahe. Nevertheless, Line 6, which runs four-car trains, has long had a questionable train capacity. The phase one section between Xunfenggang and Changban began to provide service from 28 December 2013 with the exception of Yide Lu and Shahe stations.^[3] Yide Lu Station opened over a year later on 28 January 2015. The second phase of Line 6 from Changban to Xiangxue has been in operation since 28 December 2016.
