Line 1 (Nanjing Metro)

Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) rather than just read about it. In short: Line 1 of the Nanjing Metro (Chinese: 南京地铁1号线; pinyin: Nánjīng Dìtiě Yī Hào Xiàn) is a north-south line and the first operating metro line in the Nanjing Metro system, inaugurated on September 3, 2005. After the opening of the 25.08 km (15.58 mi)-long south extension line on May 28, 2010, the total length of Line 1 is now 37.9 km (23.5 mi), running from CPU to Baguazhoudaqiaonan.

Key takeaways

Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Line 1 of the Nanjing Metro (Chinese: 南京地铁1号线; pinyin: Nánjīng Dìtiě Yī Hào Xiàn) is a north-south line and the first operating metro line in the Nanjing Metro system, inaugurated on September 3, 2005. After the opening of the 25.08 km (15.58 mi)-long south extension line on May 28, 2010, the total length of Line 1 is now 37.9 km (23.5 mi), running from CPU to Baguazhoudaqiaonan.

Opening timeline

Route

This line mainly runs in a north-south direction. It starts at Baguazhoudaqiaonan station in the north, and continues southwards towards CPU station which is located at the southeastern side of Nanjing. Of the total 21.72 km (13.50 mi) of the main line track, 14.33 km (8.90 mi) of the Line 1 track runs underground, while 7.39 km (4.59 mi) of the track run on or above the ground. Of the total 16 stations, 11 of them are underground stations while the other 5 are either ground or elevated stations. The southern extension line of Metro Line 1 has a total length of 25.08 km (15.58 mi) with 15 stations (excluding Andemen station). Of the total 15 stations, 8 of them are underground and the other 7 are all elevated stations. The northern extension covers a length of 7.2 km (4.5 mi) (6.7 km (4.2 mi) underground and 0.5 km (0.31 mi) elevated) with 5 underground stations (excluding Maigaoqiao station). It was completed in 2022.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Line 1 (Nanjing Metro)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Line 1 (Nanjing Metro)

In research: Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2005 establishments in China, 2005 in Nanjing, Nanjing Metro lines, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Line 1 (Nanjing Metro) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
