Is there some reason why it's elevated so high? Seems like it's twice as high as it needs to be in the last two pictures.

Seems similar to Shanghai's line 1, it also connects the 2 stations.

Long term plans have been updated. Around 450 kilometres and 10 lines will be built now.

You can see the expected lenght of each line on the map:

Another Chinese city bidding for the '400km+ of subways club'. Around 15 Chinese cities are planning metro systems above that span now.

how long is the first line?
how much is underground and how much is above ground?
does it connect to railway stations and/or airport?

Total lenght 47.97 kilometres, 41.4 underground, and the rest above ground or elevated.

About the third question, maybe someone from Hangzhou could help.

Based on the maps posted previously, it appears the currently UC part of line 1 will connect to both the main railway station and the east railway station. The long term plan also shows a connection to the airport on a further extension of line 1 as well as on lines 6 and 7.

Woonsocket54 · September 21st, 2011, 05:23 PM

I was in Hangzhou last week and passed by the construction site of the metro in the business district.

Currently, Hangzhou's transit system is limited to buses and trolleybuses such as these:

Nice update! I hope they can build metros to cover the West lake. It's not convenient at all getting bus and taxi when walking around the west lake of Hangzhou.
