As the high-tech zone of Xi'an's "economic engine", it is about to usher in a subway that runs through the north and south.
sorted out the development history, and the high-tech zone showed the characteristics of "long north and south". If Line 3 integrates Hi-Tech into the core urban area, then Line 6 will be a veritable "large north-south channel". Under the background of "south expansion power", Metro Line 6 will speed up the high-tech zone.
1/ travels through the north and south. Today, the trial ride of
Since the start of construction on March 28, 2016, the first phase of Metro Line 6, which took for four years, has officially entered the trial ride stage of today. Metro Line 6 has a certain milestone significance in the history of Xi'an subway construction:
For example, the shield structure of the right line from "Technology Road Station" to "Northwest Polytechnical University Station" is 746 meters long, and has successively overcome many technical problems such as the excavation of sand layer on the small radius curve full-section of the sand layer, the underpass of old houses, the close-range underpass of the power high-voltage pipeline corridor, and the side through the Taoyuan Bridge of the South Second Ring Road.
In order to meet the needs of transfers between Line 6 and Line 8, "one hole and two tracks" are used on the station side, that is, the subway upstream and downstream lines are in a tunnel, effectively saving land resources around the transfer station.

It can be seen that Xi'an Metro Line 6 is a stainless steel body, and the color of the body waistline is "Starry Blue". When entering the car, the colors of the floor and seats are basically the same as the color of the body line identification color, and the electronic map station reporting facilities are basically the same as Metro Line 4. The first phase of the line
, the bus size is: 19.5 meters (length) × 2.8 meters (width) × 3.81 meters (height), the entire train is rated for 1,460 people, the maximum crew is 2,062 people, and the seat is 256 people.
Xi'an Metro Line 6 Phase I project electric buses are the same as those that have been opened for Line 1. They are both Type B cars, with 4-movement and 2-torch six-chain marshalling trains. There are four power cars in total, and the train is equipped with air purification devices to ensure a ventilation environment.
electric bus designed speed is 80 kilometers per hour, with an average speed of more than 38 kilometers per hour, and the vehicle service life is 30 years. The body material is stainless steel with no coating on the surface, and uses DC 1500 volt overhead contact network power reception method. The first phase is planned to invest 25 electric buses.
Since the planned Xi'an South Station station has not been finalized, and the original design of the subway does not meet the conditions for return, 13 stations are planned to be opened in advance on the first phase of 6, namely, the Xi'an International Medical Center Station to Northwest Polytechnical University station, and the opening of Xi'an South Station and the Xi'an University of Technology South Campus·The Future Pupil Station is temporarily suspended.
02/ North-south channel, the high-tech line
Subway Line 6 Phase I, has become the underground channel of the "Xi'an Economic Engine" High-tech Zone.
Previously, there was only one subway in the high-tech area: Metro Line 3, whose passenger flow is second only to the "central axis" of Line 2, and basically ranked second in Xi'an. In comparison, has four sites in the high-tech range, less than six kilometers.
This time, the first phase of Metro Line 6, which is 20.1 kilometers long, starts from Xi'an South Station in the south and ends at Northwest Polytechnical University Station in the north. There are 14 stations in located in Hi-Tech, becoming the absolute "High-Tech Line".
is mainly located in Xi'an Hi-tech Zone , which runs through New Xi'an South Station , Hi-tech CID, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, Chang'an Communication Industrial Park, Xitai Road, Jinye Road, Tangyan Road and Science and Technology Road Business District, etc., and runs through the entire high-tech core industrial zone.
In addition, Line 6 can be transferred to stations such as Line 3 Science and Technology Road, Line 5 Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Line 8 Provincial Stadium under construction.
In May 2020, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other departments issued the "2020 National Major Cities Commuting Monitoring Report", and the commuting space radius in Xi'an has reached 27 kilometers, ranking 13th in the country. The report pointed out that in terms of the proportion of the commuter population covered by 1 kilometer of rail transit, Xi'an accounts for only 17%.
Therefore, expanding the extension range of the rail transit main axis and covering more regional populations can effectively accelerate the flow and interaction of resources within the city.
Metro Line 6 runs through the most economically developed industrial core area of Xi'an, and can be said to be the "golden trunk line". There is no doubt that the opening of Phase I of Metro Line 6 has brought the time and space distance between the high-tech zone and the main urban area closer. At this point, the current rail transit gap in the southwest area of Xi'an will be filled.
In addition, the second phase of Metro Line 6 has opened the tunnel construction process within the city wall and is expected to be opened to traffic in 2022. The total length of the second phase of the
1 is about 19.63 kilometers, with a total of 17 stations. It is one of the most important east-west transportation arteries under construction in the Xi'an subway network. It forms the east-west skeleton line of Xi'an subway along with the existing subway Lines 1 and 5.
Therefore, Line 6 is the backbone line running southwest-northeast, with a total length of 39.9 kilometers and a total of 32 stations. The routes connect the planned Xi'an South Station transportation hub, high-tech zone, commercial area within the city wall, east of the city and Textile City area.
3/ High-tech expands southward, and the center of gravity moves southward
With the simultaneous opening of lines 5, 6 and 9, the total mileage of Xi'an subway line will reach 231 kilometers.
Judging from the number of Xi'an subways opened recently and the area of traffic, in recent years, the "Greater Xi'an Metropolitan Area Year" under rail transit, because cities will expand again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the speed of subway construction will also grow rapidly.
At present, it seems that the subway lines that have been opened in Xi'an cover the main administrative areas of Xi'an, and cover important transportation routes and transportation hub center stations in the third ring of Xi'an.

And Metro Line 6 connects the most important modern industrial zone in Hi-Tech and Xi'an into a line, and enables the Hi-Tech Zone to achieve the real "southern expansion power".
As the "economic engine" high-tech zone in Xi'an, according to the data in the third quarter of 2020, the GDP of Xi'an High-tech Zone reached 176.98 billion, an increase of 13.8%, accounting for more than 25% of the city's total, leading the 169 national high-tech zones in the country.
It can be imagined that with the support of Metro Line 6 running through the Hi-Tech sector, Xi'an Hi-Tech will release greater energy. It is no exaggeration to say that the displacement of the city's center of gravity will really begin.

Because of this line, it will bring three changes to the high-tech zone: First, it will become the "main artery" of Xi'an's industry; second, it will expand the urban skeleton; third, it will bring about urban population migration.
Industry perspective: Metro Line 6 connects the most important economic zone in Xi'an. As the core hinterland of the "Ten Billion Science and Technology Innovation Corridor", industries represented by science and technology and modern finance are highly concentrated here.
Urban development: Xi'an Hi-tech Zone has successfully hosted 12 streets and towns including Yanta , Chang'an, Yuanyi , Zhouzhi County, with an area of 1,079 square kilometers.Urban development is "comprehensively expanding externally". The networking of subways based on Metro Line 6 has become a "revolutionary factor" in urban expansion.
Population increase: is the high-tech zone with the largest number of new employment, as Metro Line 6 becomes the "Nantuo Shinkansen", the expansion of cities and the aggregation of industries will surely bring about more population increases.
It can be said that the first phase of Line 6 will be opened and operated, and will build a "one line, multiple pieces of integration" planning pattern for the main battlefield of the third entrepreneurship of high-tech enterprises, playing a better support and driving role.
