Line 9 (simplified Chinese: 深圳地铁九号线; traditional Chinese: 深圳地鐵九號線; pinyin: Jǐu hào xiàn; Jyutping: Gau2 Hou6 Sin3) of the Shenzhen Metro opened on 28 October 2016. The line runs East–West from Hongshuwan South to Wenjin. It has 10 transfer stations and is 25.33 km long, running through the city’s districts of Nanshan, Futian and Luohu.
Line 9 was previously known as the Meilin Line (simplified Chinese: 梅林线; traditional Chinese: 梅林線; pinyin: Méilín Xiàn; Jyutping: Mui4 Lam4 Sin3), and before that as the Neihuan Line (simplified Chinese: 內环线; traditional Chinese: 內環線; pinyin: Nèihuán xiàn; Jyutping: Noi6 Waan4 Sin3), which means a ring-shaped line. In December 2011 the name was changed along with the planned alignment.
Construction of Line 9 started in 2012, with main stations completed in July 2014, other stations in March 2015 with tunnels planned for September 2016 and trial operation for October 2016. Shenzhen Metro Line 3 Operations was responsible for construction and planning of the line, until their merger with SZMC (Shenzhen Metro Group) in April 2011.
