Line 7 of the Guangzhou Metro runs across Panyu District. Line 7's color is ■ light green. Line 7 is envisioned as tangential line that runs across southeast Guangzhou and Foshan, allowing for orbital traffic between the suburbs of Shunde, Panyu and Huangpu to avoid the crowded city center stations.

Sections

Phase 1

The first phase opened on December 28, 2016 and starts at Guangzhou South Railway Station and ends at Higher Education Mega Center South. It has interchanges with Line 2 at Guangzhou South Railway Station and Shibi, Line 3 at Hanxi Changlong, and Line 4 at Higher Education Mega Center South and a total length is 18.6 km (11.6 mi) with 10 stations.

Phase 1 west extension

The plan for west extension of the first phase from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Meidi Dadao in Shunde District, Foshan was approved in October 2015.[2] The construction of the west extension to Shunde began in June 2016.[3] The west extension opened on 1 May 2022.[4][5][6] The extension is 13.447 km in length with 8 stations.[7]

Phase 2

The Northern extension to Shuixibei will add 22 km (14 mi) of line with 11 additional stations and will open in 2023.[8][9]

Planning

Line 7 started in 2002 as the Fangcun-Panyu-Huangpu Line which started from Xilang and passed through Panyu District. Of which the central section roughly follows the existing first phase of Line 7 but runs slightly north connecting what today is Nanpu, Dashi Stations and head east to serve and encourage development around the Xinzao and Hualong areas.

Subsequently, Line 7's design was greatly revised in 2003, with the alignment east of Dashi was shifted north to Huangpu District via Shaxi, University Town and Changzhou Island. The interchange station with Line 3 was changed from Dashi to Hanxi Changlong station as constructed today. Additionally, the western terminus was changed to Guangzhou New Passenger Station, what is now Guangzhou South railway station. This shifted Line 7's plan to roughly follow what Line 7's Phase 1 and 2 are today.

During initial planning, Line 7 considered the use of 4 car L-type light metro trains for operation. However, severe congestion issues were created after the opening of Line 3, which only uses low capacity 3 car Type B trains and Line 6 which uses even lower capacity 4 car L-shaped trains, prompted heavy public criticism. Planners subsequently reevaluated the passenger flow forecasts for the entire line of Line 7, and upgraded the design to use 6 car B-type trains. Therefore, at the time of construction of Line 7, the partly completed station structures of Line 7 platforms at Guangzhou South Railway Station and Higher Education Mega Center South station were expanded to accommodate the longer trains.
