Shenzhen Metro Line 2 (Shekou Line)

Shenzhen Metro Line 2, traversing Nanshan and Futian CBD, is a necessary line for both business travelers and high-tech tourists in the city. It takes Chiwan in Nanshan District as a western starting point and runs eastward to Liantang in Luohu via 32 stations, through which passengers can visit newly emerging scenic spots like Shenzhen Talent Park, Shenzhen Bay Park, and Ping’an International Finance Centre, popular business areas with concentrated high-tech product shops such as Huaqiangbei Electronics Market and Shenzhen Bay Mixc, as well as traditional tourist attractions including Window of the World and Fairy Lake Botanical Garden. Meanwhile, it leads to multiple ports including Shekou, Liantang, and Wenjindu, thus serving as an important route for people traveling between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. 

Shenzhen Subway Line 2 extends 39.57 km (24.6 mi) in length, requiring about 78 minutes in total for a single trip. The ticket fare changes between CNY 2 – 8.

By through service with metro Line 8, Line 2 also makes Dameisha and Xiaomeisha easily accessible from the city center. Upon arriving at Liantang station by Line 2, passengers directly embark on their trip of Line 8 without the need to get off the train. At 11:30, 12:30, and 13:30 on weekdays, one additional express train departs from Haishan station of Line 8 and runs towards Chiwan along Line 2, shortening the travel time by 10 – 15 minutes by skipping stations with low passenger flow.
