Line 10 drawn to scale.

Line 10 of the Guangzhou Metro is a 17.2 km (10.7 mi) rapid transit rail line in operation in Guangzhou. It runs from Tianhe district in the northeast to Liwan district in the southwest,[1] forming an X shape together with Line 12.[2] The line opened on 29 June 2025.[3]

History

In 2007, the chief engineer of Guangzhou Metro, Shaozhang Chen, proposed removing a branch of the severely overcrowded Line 3 and integrating it into a new northeast to southwest diagonal line to increase efficiency of the network.[4] Soon after, two versions of a long-term network map were released for public consultation, with both proposing a Line 10 as such a diagonal line.[5] It again appeared on long-term plans in 2010, running from Tianhe Coach Station to Dongsha with a total of 15 stations, including those taken over from Line 3.[6]

By 2015, Xilang had replaced Dongsha as the western terminus.[7] With this, detailed plans were released, which showed the line passing straight through the south campus of Sun Yat-Sen University. This prompted severe backlash from the university community, over concerns of damage to historical structures and disturbing sensitive research.[8]

In 2017, Line 10 received planning approval from the National Development and Reform Commission as part of the Guangzhou Urban Rail Transit Phase 3 Construction Plan (2017-2025), with work planned to start the same year and be completed in 2022.[9] Similar approval from Guangzhou authorities was obtained in January 2018, allowing work to start.[10] Work officially started on 19 November 2018 with a ceremony at Dongsha.[11]

The 12-station section from Xilang to Yangji East was opened on 29 June 2025. The entire line, including the branch line of Line 3, was originally meant to become operational at the same, however due to various delays, Sun Yat-sen University South Gate, Tianhe Road and the connection to Line 3 could not be completed in time.[3]

Sun Yat-sen University South Gate opened on 29 December 2025.[12] As of January 2026, the remaining section is 69% complete, with work continuing at the main structure of Tianhe Road station and the tunnel between Tianhe Rd and Shipaiqiao.[13]
