The line connects central Dalian with Lüshunkou over with 8 stations from east to west. This line begins at Hekou station and stretches southwest ending at Lüshun New Port station. Similar to Line 3, all the stations have side platforms with tracks in the platform area have no ballast (gravel); however, tracks outside the station are on ballast. Also all stations are covered by a combination of transparent corrugated sheets and a concrete roof.[2]
