The Line 1 of Wuhan Metro (Chinese: 武汉地铁一号线) is an elevated metro line in the city of Wuhan, Hubei, China. Line 1 opened on 28 July 2004,[4] making Wuhan the fifth city in mainland China to have a metro system after Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou.[5] This is the first Metro line in China wrongly referred to as a light rail (轻轨, qing gui) line in Chinese terminology because it is elevated.[6]

However, Changchun built a true light-rail system, Dalian built a metro-style commuter rail system (and is referred to as "kuai-gui 快轨", not "qing-gui 轻轨"), and Chongqing opted for a monorail system, whereas Wuhan was the only one to build an elevated metro system.
