Train and signal testing has started today on the Shanghai Metro Disney Line, an extension of Line 11.

The 9.15-kilometer line starts from Line 11’s Luoshan Road Station with stops at Xiuyan Road and Kangxin Road before reaching Disney Station.

Shanghai Disneyland is expected to open in the spring of 2016.

Disney Station will be partly underground and surrounded by an artificial lake, trees and shrubs.

Construction of the line started in May 2013. The extension is expected to open this year, the operator previously said.
