New metro stations of Line 5 to open in Xi'an before the National Day holiday

The eastern section of Xi'an Metro Line 5 Phase 1 will be put into operation before the National Day holiday. On September 19, Xi'an Metro held the "Metro Open Day" event, inviting some residents along the eastern section of Metro Line 5 Phase 1 to visit the soon-to-open metro stations, namely the Yuedengge (Yuedeng Pavilion) Station and Yanminghu (Yanming Lake) Station.

The completion of this section not only enhances the function of Line 5 as a major east-west rail transit line in the city but also boosts the development of the urban area near the Xi'an East Railway Station (high-speed rail).

Yanminghu Station connects to the Xi'an East Railway Station to the east and extends to the core urban area to the west. It is also the 1st metro station in Xi'an built close to the surrounding buildings.

Yanminghu Station and the surrounding residential buildings are structurally independent of each other, so the residents' living conditions will not be further disturbed. The subway station is closely integrated with the three housing units, so the trains seem to brush against the building. This design links the surrounding commercial facilities to the station hall, ensuring smooth movement and connections for passengers, residents, and business units.

To the east of the entrance/exit A of the Yanming Lake Station, there is a pedestrian overpass beneath the elevated metro track, which greatly facilitates the daily commute for residents living on both sides of the East 3rd Ring Road.
