Chao News client reporter Chen Wei intern Ding Shujin
The scene that netizens saw at the Longxiangqiao subway station over the weekend
"This kind of scene is not common, and the transition between the old and the new can look like a shift change, which feels very fun."
Don't get me wrong, this is not talking about playgrounds, but the first sentence of a netizen to Chao News. He took the subway to the West Lake on the weekend and saw two rows of turnstiles at the C entrance and exit of Longxiangqiao subway station. "When I asked, I found out that Longxiangqiao Station was going to be renovated."
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, as the "top stream" of Hangzhou, Longxiangqiao Station will definitely open the "people from the crowd" mode, how is the current transformation? Will it affect taking the subway at Longxiangqiao Station during the Dragon Boat Festival?
According to the plan previously announced by Hangzhou Metro, in order to further optimize the traffic efficiency of Longxiangqiao Station of Line 1, after the end of operation on May 25, Hangzhou Metro will carry out the upgrading and improvement project of Longxiangqiao Station. At the end of May and the beginning of June, some new turnstiles were introduced, and the improvement project is expected to be completed in early July.

Today, Chao News reporters came to Longxiangqiao Station again.
The security checkpoint in the middle of the station hall has been moved to the entrances and exits A and B, freeing up more space in the station.

At present, the turnstile at the C exit of the subway station has been completely replaced, that is, the original scissor turnstile has been replaced by a new slap turnstile.
Zhu Ning, spokesman for Hangzhou Hong Kong Metro, told reporters that after replacing the original turnstile with a width of 0.28 meters / unit with a width of 0.18 meters / unit, the floor area can be reduced by about 36%, and the current turnstile channel at the C entrance has increased from the original 8 to 10. "After pipeline laying and commissioning in the past two days, these turnstiles will be installed in a fixed position after the end of operation tonight."
It is worth mentioning that 2 wide turnstile passages have been added, making it easier for passengers using wheelchairs, strollers and carrying large luggage to enter and exit.

The reporter happened to come across Ms. Wang pushing a baby stroller through the widened turnstile.
"Exit C is the closest to the West Lake, and I used to take the subway with a trolley, and when I got out of the turnstile, I had to find where the widened exit was." Ms. Wang said that now there is a widened turnstile at this exit, which is convenient to see at a glance.
In addition to the transformation of the turnstile at the C exit, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the Hangzhou-Hong Kong Metro will also open the transformation of the turnstiles at the A, B and D gates, and finally the turnstile channels at Longxiangqiao Station will increase from the original 31 to 38.
"We will also change the wall-mounted ticket vending machines near Exits A and D to surface-mounted, which will free up an additional 40 square meters of space." Zhu Ning said.
For the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu Ning said that through the current transformation, the traffic efficiency of the C gate is expected to increase by about 20%.
"Combined with the situation of large passenger flow during the previous holidays, we will still carry out entrance and exit control and passenger flow guidance measures during the Dragon Boat Festival, so as to facilitate the formation of a circulation in and out of the station and avoid hedging of passenger flow in and out of the station during the large passenger flow, I hope you will understand and cooperate." Zhu Ning reminded that if you need to know relevant information during the subway, you can call the Hangzhou Metro service hotline 0571-96600.
