Metro



Chengdu is planning 8 subway lines totaling 298 km. The first 18.5 km phase of the 26.7 km 17 station line opened in September 2010.  This phase is entirely below ground, and is western China's first metro.  The line is also known as the Panda Express because of the many pandas that commute to the zoo on the line. Despite their appearance and occasional tendency to maul human passengers, the hairy travelers are bearly noticed.

Hairy Panda is in good spirits as he boards the new Chengdu subway en-route to his job at the zoo.
