Since the EIA was announced in 2022, the planning progress of the third phase of Xiamen's subway is being declared to the National Development and Reform Commission. However, more than a year later, there is still no progress in the approval.
According to the news recently released by the Xiamen Municipal Investment Promotion Office, up to now, the third phase of the construction plan has completed the preparation of 10 supporting topics, and the impact report on the environmental impact assessment of the preconditions has been reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
An official provincial document at the beginning of the year stated that the third phase of the Xiamen urban rail plan would be approved in 2024.
The third phase of Xiamen Metro plans to declare 4 lines, including the first phase of Line 5, the first phase of Line 7, the first phase of Line 8, the second phase of Line 9, as well as supporting depots, parking lots, stations, main substations and other related projects, with a total scale of about 88km.
Recently, some netizens have inquired whether there is a plan to extend Xiamen Metro Line 3 to the vicinity of Xiamen University's Xiang'an Campus?
In this regard, the official reply: According to the rail transit network planning, there is a branch line of rail line 3 in the Xiang'an campus area of Xiamen University. At the same time, the rail transit construction project needs to be included in the Xiamen rail transit construction plan and approved by the relevant state departments before the construction can be started, and the specific construction sequence and line plan of the branch line of Line 3 will continue to deepen the study in the follow-up construction planning and project construction stage, and the specific work arrangement of the project construction shall be subject to the announcement of the rail transit construction authority.
Therefore, from the content of the reply, it can be seen that:
The Xiang'an Campus of Xiamen University is planned to have a branch line of Rail Line 3;
However, this line needs to be included in the city's rail construction plan and approved by the relevant state departments before construction can be started.
All in all, there is a subway planned, but not so fast.
It is worth mentioning that in a previous reply letter, it was mentioned that the line will be temporarily stranded due to a series of factors.
In addition, the second phase of Metro Line 4 and the T3 control line have also been mentioned repeatedly, but there has been no movement.
The starting point of the T3 control line is located in the Xinglin Qiaotou plate, and it is planned to transfer with Line 1, Line 6 and Line 4, passing through the Xingbei plate and ending at the Guankou plate.
The official also gave a clear reply: the line has not been included in the city's recent construction plan, and the construction work cannot be started.
Rail Transit Line 4 (Soft San East Station to Maluanwan South Station) project starts from Soft San East Station (not included) and ends at Maluanwan South Station, with a line length of 14.8km, all of which are laid on the underground line Guan Xin Road and Guan Kou Middle Road, with 5 stations, including 2 transfer stations, a new Cai Cuo parking lot and an in-site liaison line, a new soft three east main transformer, and the control center and Line 1 share the use of the Garden Expo Garden control center. The design speed is 120km/h, and it adopts a fully automatic operation system.

Xiamen rail transit long-term line network plans 12 lines, a total of 494 kilometers. At present, two rounds of construction planning and adjustment have been approved, with a total of 5 lines and 232 kilometers, and the project will basically form a line network skeleton of "central radiation and bay development" after completion, and has been extended to Zhangzhou Jiaomei. In order to give full play to the guiding role of rail transit in supporting and guiding urban development, the third phase of Xiamen's construction planning and research work was officially launched at the beginning of 2021, closely focusing on the strategic goal of "improving the island and cross-island development" and the spatial layout of "one island and one bay".

3. Industry orientation and investment factors
According to the characteristics of rail transit engineering, investment promotion is mainly divided into land investment and other factor investment.
Land Investment:
The land for comprehensive rail development is distributed along the rail line, advocating the TOD development concept of "station-city integration, industry priority, functional complex, and comprehensive operation", planning residential, commercial, office, rental apartment, hotel, industrial park and other diversified complex formats, and planning to introduce high-level urban comprehensive operators and developers to cooperate in development. At present, it has developed comprehensive development projects such as Joy City Commercial Complex, Jimei Software Park TOD Complex, Wetland Park TOD, Huli Park TOD Metro Apartment, Haicang Center TOD, Xiang'an Houcun TOD, etc. The TOD project has achieved remarkable results in attracting investment, and has introduced well-known domestic and foreign business management and hotel management brands such as Hong Kong New World K11, Seazen Holdings, Marriott, Ascott Singapore, and Huazhu in advance.
Other elements of investment: covering the whole process of rail transit planning, design, construction, equipment and operation, including the introduction of well-known survey and design units to set up branches in Xiamen, the construction units of central enterprises to set up project departments in Xiamen, the establishment of cooperative companies between large equipment manufacturers and local state-owned enterprises, and the participation of domestic and foreign operation and management companies in the operation and management of the line, etc., to form a rail transit industry chain.
