Line 3 of the Dalian Metro (R3; Chinese: 大连快轨三号线; pinyin: Dàlián Kuàiguǐ Sān Hào Xiàn) also known as Line R3 or Dalian–Jinzhou intercity railway (Chinese: 大连金州城际轨道交通; pinyin: Dàlián Jīnzhōu Chéngjì Guǐdào Jiāotōng), a rapid transit line running from southwest to northwest Dalian. It was opened on the 8 November 2002. This line is 63.45 km (39.43 mi) long with 12 stations. The northern area of the city, where the Economic and Technology Development Zone is located, is not well-served by buses. The metro line beginning at the downtown commercial center (near the Dalian railway station) runs through five administrative districts of the city and serves as an express transport between the northern (developing) region and the downtown area. The line extends northward to Golden Pebble Beach (Jinshitan Scenic Area), a national scenic park 50 km (31 mi) from the city center. The Jiuli branch route was opened on 28 December 2008. The branch route connects central Dalian with Jinzhou with fourteen stations from south to north. The branch begins at Dalian Development Area station and stretches northwest ending at Jiuli station.

All stations have side platforms. Tracks in the platform area have no ballast (gravel); however, tracks outside the station are on ballast. All stations are covered by a combination of transparent corrugated sheets and a concrete roof. In October 2017, most station names were re-translated from Pinyin into conventional English.
