Hello geng ✋, I’m a fellow Malaysian who just came back from Shanghai, and let me tell you… the Shanghai Metro is a game changer for traveling around the city. 🚇
At first, I thought it would be complicated (Shanghai is huge compared to KL 🤯), but once you get the hang of it, the metro is cheap, fast, clean, and super convenient. Here’s my full guide so you won’t get lost when you come!
🗺️ 1. Shanghai Metro Map 2025
Source from Wikipedia
The Shanghai Metro is one of the world’s largest 🚇 — with 20+ lines and 500+ stations! In 2025, it covers almost every corner of the city.
👉 Pro tip: Download the official Shanghai Metro app or just use Gaode Maps (高德地图) — both apps have the updated map, train timings, and route planning.
(Imagine a giant colorful map like the LRT + MRT in KL… but 10x more complex 😂)

Major Shanghai Metro Stations
- People's Square is our busiest station - it's where Lines 1, 2, and 8 meet. Think of it as Shanghai's Times Square! From here, you can visit People's Park, the Shanghai Museum, and tons of shopping malls.
- Xujiahui (Lines 1, 9, and 11) is another major hub. It's surrounded by huge shopping malls and electronics markets. If you're looking for gadgets or want to experience modern Shanghai, this is your stop.
- For culture lovers, get off at Yuyuan Garden station (Line 10) to see Old Shanghai, or Jing'an Temple (Lines 2/7) for one of the city's most famous temples surrounded by luxury malls.
- Take Line 2 to Lujiazui. This is where you'll find the Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower, and the World Financial Center - basically, all those buildings you see in Shanghai postcards!
- Pro tip: If you're heading to Shanghai Disneyland, take Line 11 to the Disney Resort station. It's a direct ride and the stations are even decorated with Disney themes!

🧭 3. How to Use Shanghai Metro
① Find the Metro Entrance
- Look for the big red “M” sign (地铁 / Metro).
- Entrances are usually near main roads, shopping malls, or railway stations.
- Each station has multiple exits (A, B, C, D, etc.) — check which one is closest to your destination.
② Buy a Ticket or Tap In
You have 3 options (choose one):
- Single Journey Ticket 🎟️
- Use the touchscreen machines (English available).
- Select your destination → pay in cash/coins → get a small green ticket.
- Keep it with you until you exit.
- Metro Card (交通卡) 💳
- Buy at the service counter. Deposit RMB 20, then top up.
- Just tap in & out — no need to queue for tickets each time.
- QR Code 📱
- If you have Alipay or WeChat Pay, just open the Metro QR code and scan at the gate.
- This is the fastest method (locals use it all the time).
③ Enter the Station
- Tap your card/scan QR/insert ticket at the entry gate.
- The gate will open, and you walk through.
- 🚨 If you use a paper ticket, keep it until you exit — you’ll need to insert it again at your destination.
④ Find Your Line & Direction
- Follow the colored signs (each line has a unique color & number).
- Look for the final station name on that line — this tells you which direction the train is going.
- Example: If you’re going from People’s Square → Lujiazui on Line 2, follow the signs for Line 2 towards Pudong International Airport.
- Don’t worry: all signs are in Chinese + English.
⑤ On the Platform
- Wait behind the yellow safety line.
- Trains usually arrive every 3–5 minutes.
- When doors open: let passengers exit first 🚶🚶, then enter.
- Pro tip: Avoid rush hours (7–9 AM, 5–7 PM) — it can get really packed 😅.
⑥ Inside the Train
- Announcements are made in Chinese + English.
- Digital screens show the next stop.
- Seats are usually taken fast, but don’t worry — rides are not too long.
- Keep your belongings close, but generally the metro is very safe.
⑦ Exiting the Metro
- Follow exit signs (e.g. Exit 1, Exit 2, Exit 3).
- Tap your card/scan QR/insert ticket at the exit gate.
- If you’re using a paper ticket, it will be “swallowed” by the machine when you leave.
🙋 Pro Tips from My Experience
- Plan with apps: Use Gaode Maps (高德地图) or Baidu Maps to check routes. Both apps work like Google Maps but better for China.
- Carry small change if you’re buying single tickets (machines don’t always take big notes).
- Look at exit maps inside the station — they show which exit leads to which street/building (very helpful for big stations like People’s Square).
- If lost, just ask: Many young Shanghainese can speak some English, and metro staff are usually friendly.

🔄 4. Shanghai Metro Transfer Guide
Sometimes you’ll need to change lines, like from Line 2 → Line 11 for Disneyland.
- Just follow the Transfer (换乘) signs inside the station.
- Be ready to walk a bit — some transfers are like a mini workout (looking at you, People’s Square 😅).
- Don’t worry, everything is in Chinese + English, and announcements are bilingual.

You’ve got 3 easy options:

Like our Touch ’n Go. Reloadable, works for metro, bus, and even some taxis.
Deposit RMB 20, then top up as you like.
Mobile QR Code 📱
If you have Alipay or WeChat Pay, just scan at the gate.
Super convenient (my favorite way!).
💰 6. Shanghai Metro Ticket Price

For tourists staying 4–5 days, I recommend getting the Metro Card — saves time queuing.

Arrived at Disneyland before 6 am before sunrise, and it seems that only thousands of people who applied for the early tree pass are available. The official opening time is 8:30, and the early tree pass is 7:30, but it opens around 7:10. I lined up at 8:10 a.m. in Jutopia and waited for two hours.

CemerlangVisiting the Bund in Shanghai was one of the most unforgettable highlights of my trip. Walking along the waterfront feels like stepping into a place where history and modern energy meet perfectly. On one side, the historic colonial-era buildings create a timeless, elegant atmosphere, while across the river the futuristic skyline of Pudong — with its iconic towers and glowing lights — feels vibrant and dynamic.The views are absolutely breathtaking, especially in the evening when the city lights come alive. Watching the illuminated skyline reflect on the Huangpu River creates a magical atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and just take it all in. The light show adds another layer of excitement, turning the entire skyline into a stunning visual display.The Bund is also perfect for a relaxed stroll, photography, or simply enjoying the energy of Shanghai. There’s always something happening — people walking, music in the background, and a lively yet romantic ambiance that captures the essence of the city.Overall, the Bund is a must-visit destination that truly showcases the beauty and spirit of Shanghai. Whether you visit during the day for the architecture or at night for the incredible lights, it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

CemerlangShanghai museum has been on my list for a while and it didn’t disappoint. Unlike other museums it has a lot to offer. Instead of just walls of pictures it had physical sculptures, clothing, relics and models. It was super interesting to read about everything in the museum as they had beautiful English translations everywhere! The minority clothing display on the fourth floor was great and on the first floor the Qipao display was amazing! Cant be missed. Definitely recommend putting it on your list!

CemerlangThere was a time when time came during my marriage, but when I was looking for where to go, I was around the hotel, so I went without a plan. It was difficult to exhibit Egyptian relics, but it was too difficult to take pictures. ㅋ There is almost no Korean guide, so it seems that you don't have to take time to see it.

CemerlangThe Jing’an Temple is a magnificent Buddhist temple in the heart of Shanghai. It is definitely worth a visit, to see the gold-oriented decoration and also the locals’ religious traditions and praying culture.
5/5
CemerlangJing'an Temple, located in Jing'an District, Shanghai, China, is a Buddhist temple with a long history and rich cultural connotation. Founded in the Xijin period, Jing'an Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Shanghai. It has been built and expanded many times and has become an important religious place and cultural attraction in the local area. Jing'an Temple is famous for its elegant temple architecture and long Buddhist tradition, attracting many followers and tourists to visit. Entering Jing'an Temple, you can feel a strong religious atmosphere. The temple is home to many ancient architectural structures and Buddhist artworks, showing a rich Buddhist cultural heritage. Jing'an Temple is not only a place for worshipping Buddhas, but also a place for spiritual peace and self-cultivation. Here, believers and tourists can participate in Buddhist law meetings, meditation activities and Buddhist lectures to feel the wisdom and peace of the Buddha. As an important cultural stronghold in Shanghai, Jing'an Temple attracts many tourists and cultural lovers.

5/5
CemerlangWalking into Jing'an Temple in Shanghai, the magnificent Buddhist temple is in stark contrast to the bustling city, making people feel a rare tranquility. The incense in the temple is full of fire, and the believers pray. I also light a musk to feel the solemn atmosphere of this Buddhist temple. The most striking of the temple is the Grand Hyatt and the towering golden tower, which are more magnificent in the sun. Walking between ancient trees and stone carvings, it seems to be far from the hustle and bustle of the city and immersed in the tranquility of Buddhist culture. It is not only a holy place for prayer, but also an ideal place for urbanites to seek a moment of peace of mind.
5/5
CemerlangJing'an Temple, a nationally protected site in Shanghai's downtown, offers respite from city crowds and features exhibits, including Ming Dynasty bronze bells and Yangzhou Eight Eccentric Painters' artwork.🖼Around the temple, there are countless shopping malls, restaurants, and cafes. You can connect your visit to the temple with a shopping session or to visit a nice restaurant. 🥗Also opposite the temple there is a beautiful park which many elderly Chinese gather to dance and play music.🕺
For Malaysians planning a trip, don’t be scared of the Shanghai Metro. It’s way more advanced than our LRT/MRT, but also more tourist-friendly. With a map app, a metro card, and a little sense of adventure, you can explore the whole city like a pro.
I swear, once you get used to it, you’ll feel like a local zipping through Shanghai 🚇✨.

This isn't my first business trip to Shanghai, but it's my first time staying at the Grand Park City Hotel. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund. Transportation is also very accessible. Manager Sunny at the front desk provided incredibly professional service, explaining everything we needed with great detail and patience. My friends and I stayed in rooms 1608 and 1616. The housekeeping staff on the 16th floor were very thorough and enthusiastic with their cleaning. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.DariPLN 321

I booked a two-day stay at this 5-star hotel through Trip.com, and its quality certainly lives up to expectations. First, let's talk about the location. It's right across the street from Exit 8 of Metro Line 2, very close to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is also directly connected to the New World Department Store, making it super convenient to get to Madame Tussauds. Next, the service. The attention to detail really showcases its high quality. Since Shanghai was quite cold in February, the hotel had already pre-heated the room, so it was wonderfully warm when I walked in. The housekeeping staff were very meticulous and responsible. From check-in to luggage storage and even the greeting at the entrance, everything was incredibly professional. In my free time, I browsed through the Radisson guide, and the content and details inside further highlighted the professionalism of the hotel's overall service. Regarding the facilities, some of them are a bit old, but it doesn't affect their functionality. The TV is indeed a bit small, which impacts the viewing experience. However, the bed was silent, and the toiletries, towels, dental kits, slippers, hairdryer, and mini-fridge were all brand new. My overall impression is that they don't cut corners on new items, and the older equipment doesn't detract from the overall experience. Because I mentioned wanting a quiet area in advance, the view from my room wasn't anything special. However, if you choose a room facing Nanjing Road or People's Park, I imagine the visual experience would be excellent. I didn't get a chance to try the bar or restaurant this trip, but I hope to experience and share them if I visit Shanghai again.DariPLN 327

The front desk staff were warm and helpful during check-in and check-out, making for a pleasant experience.
The room cards have a sleek design with a matte, non-slip backing that feels good to the touch. We were given two cards, which was convenient for separate entry and exit, and the power-saving card was already inserted in the room, so no extra steps were needed.
Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, with separate Chinese and Western sections that you could choose from freely. However, the two sections were a bit far apart, requiring a walk back and forth if you wanted to get items from both.
We booked an Executive Bund View King Room (on floors 25-30) and were assigned a corner room on the 26th floor. The room was spacious and very clean. The wardrobe had plenty of hangers, easily accommodating four outfits, and there was even space on the left for ironing.
However, there were a few drawbacks: a moth flew out from behind the headboard as I approached it, some facilities seemed a bit dated, and the indoor lighting was a bit dim.
Additionally, despite being called a “Bund View Room,” the window primarily faced the city, with only a small section near the TV wall offering a view of the Bund and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Furthermore, the curtain on the right side was fixed at the top and could only be pulled towards the corner, meaning the section by the TV wall couldn't be opened. To enjoy the Bund night view, I had to walk behind the curtain or manually pull it aside, which made the viewing experience somewhat inconvenient.DariPLN 450

Booked this place for New Year's Eve, and it was excellent value for money. My child absolutely loved the hotel, especially the little cats in the garden. Every evening, walking past after dinner, we'd see kind people feeding them, which my child adored. We booked a suite because we had a tutor coming the next day, and the price for the suite was fantastic. Breakfast was quite crowded, and we had to queue for a bit. I initially thought there wouldn't be much variety, but it turned out to be pretty decent! The Japanese breakfast was good, though I didn't try the burdock mixed rice. They gave us a complimentary bottle of wine, which we took with us even though we don't drink. Overall, I thought it was great! On our way out, we even went to the second floor to pick up two boxes of fresh meat mooncakes. My parents really enjoyed them, but you do need to order them via a mini-program.DariPLN 401

🌟 **Prime Location!** 🌟
This hotel boasts an unbeatable location right in the heart of Jing'an. The subway station is literally right outside, and you can easily walk to Jing'an Temple and the West Nanjing Road shopping district. It's incredibly convenient for shopping, dining, and experiencing Shanghai's unique culture. The surrounding area is bustling but surprisingly quiet, making for a perfect travel experience.
🏨 **Comfortable & Elegant Rooms** 🏨
I stayed in a superior room, which was spacious and well-laid out. The modern decor paired with soft lighting created a warm and relaxing ambiance. The bedding deserves special mention – the mattress was just right, not too soft nor too firm, and the pillows offered excellent support, ensuring I slept soundly all night. The room had excellent soundproofing, and the city views from the window were charming. I truly enjoyed a high-quality rest during my stay.
💁 **Attentive & Thoughtful Service** 💁
From the warm welcome upon arrival to every staff member I encountered during my stay, the service was consistently friendly and professional. The front desk was very efficient, the concierge proactively offered travel advice, and housekeeping was quick to respond. It's the small details that really made me feel at home.
🍽️ **Delightful Dining Experience** 🍽️
The breakfast selection was extensive, offering a great variety of both Western and Chinese options, and the local specialty dim sum was particularly authentic. The restaurant environment was elegant, and the staff were prompt in refilling dishes and tidying tables. Additionally, the afternoon tea at the hotel's lobby lounge was excellent, perfect for a casual get-together with friends or a business discussion.
🏊 **Comprehensive & Convenient Facilities**
The fitness center is equipped with new and complete facilities, and the indoor heated pool has crystal clear water and wasn't crowded, making for a very pleasant experience. The business center is well-appointed, ideal for business travelers who need to get work done.
Whether for business or leisure, the Pullman Jing'an delivers an outstanding accommodation experience. The high-quality facilities, thoughtful service details, and convenient location all contributed to a truly memorable stay. I've already recommended it to friends and will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Shanghai!DariPLN 295

The hotel was easy enough to find for a hotel the has a reception on the 4th floor and no signage out front. The location is prime for access to the pedestrian road. Lots of sightseeing and shopping in this area. Short drive to all the key tourist hotspots. Beds were comfortable, staff were great to foreigners like us, breakfast was fine. The only thing of notes was we had no luck using the dryers and resorted to hanging out our clothes in our room. But this is a minor issue and may be operator error.

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|0.85km dari pusat bandar
The hotel’s location is very good. It is about a 5-minute walk to a huge Starbucks, Nanjing West Road, the MRT station, and Wujiang Road, which has several nice bakeries and food options. This made getting around very convenient. There was also a 7-11 just across the road.
However, the Premier Two-Bedroom Suite was disappointing for the price paid. The rooms are rather small, especially the master bedroom, where there was not enough space to place or open any luggage. We had to keep our luggage in the living room instead.
The bathroom, particularly the shower area, looked very dated. The tiles appeared old and there was a musty smell, which was unpleasant. Another inconvenience was that the light switches were only on one side of the bed, making it very inconvenient to switch off the lights from the other side.
The kitchenette was also very small. Cutlery was stored in a drawer above the bin, which was not ideal, and there were no extra plates provided. The tiles looked old with visible cracks, and some of the drawers were faulty. Overall, the room did not feel premium and felt overpriced for what was offered. The hotel rooms clearly need a glow-up to match the Kempinski brand and the rates charged.
Additionally, the reception area was undergoing renovation, with no seating or waiting area. The pick-up and drop-off driveway is very narrow, only a small lane. When loading our luggage, we had to do so very quickly as other cars were waiting. The driveway would benefit from being more spacious.
While the location is excellent, the room condition, layout, and facilities did not meet expectations for a Premier suite.DariPLN 515

After a long search online and comparing various options, I finally settled on this designer hotel, and it turned out to be an excellent choice! The hotel's location is superb; right outside is the Old City Park, which connects to the Bund, Yu Garden, and City God Temple, all within easy reach. The subway is only about 200 meters away, making it convenient to get anywhere. You can enjoy the Bund night view from the hotel's rooftop, and some of the view is also visible from the room window. The room was well-stocked with beverages, and they even provided a humidifier as per our request. Both the hardware and software are top-notch! The breakfast spread was incredibly rich. The front desk staff was very welcoming, and all the front desk, security, and doormen were young, enthusiastic, proactive, and quite good-looking! They always greeted us first and helped with our luggage! We even received a small gift upon check-out, which was a lovely touch! What kind of manager can lead such an outstanding hotel service team? Five-star rating! Highly recommended!DariPLN 415

The front desk staff seemed inexperienced. When I arrived to check in, no one noticed me right away. I had to wait in line for two minutes before actively asking for assistance. (Though they seemed quite enthusiastic with foreign guests.) I redeemed points for a welcome fruit platter, but it wasn't delivered even after 10:30 PM when I returned from dinner. When I inquired, they told me I had to request it again – that it wouldn't be sent automatically. What's the point of redeeming it on the platform then? It took almost an hour after calling for my child's slippers and toothbrush to be delivered, and I had to call again after 11:30 PM to finally get them. I was already exhausted from a long flight delay at the airport due to weather, so it's hard to understand why even these small things took so long. Furthermore, they didn't even know the general directions (left or right) to the nearby W Hotel on the Bund, which indicates a lack of experience. However, the service staff in the breakfast restaurant were friendly and experienced, and the food was good – definitely recommend!DariPLN 337

It's near to train station, hotel was grand, check in was smooth. Informed the hotel it's for our anniversary and they told us a complimentary cake will be given to us on the check in night but perhaps they forgot, nevertheless they gave a complimentary birthday slice of cake several days later.
The shower and toilet bowl pressure were low, informed the front desk and they fixed it the same day and was great after that.
Overall a good experience, but not an exceptional one.DariPLN 368

I was very satisfied with my stay. The platform offered a 300-yuan credit, which was just enough to cover breakfast for one person (delivered to my room!), and that instantly put me in a good mood.

Booked this stay on Ctrip, and the overall experience truly exceeded my expectations! The room was incredibly spacious with a comfortable layout, and that large bathtub was absolutely perfect for a relaxing soak. The hotel's location is super convenient; I'll definitely choose to stay here every time I visit Shanghai in the future. The coffee was also delicious, and having a coffee machine in the room was a great perk. What's even more impressive is how friendly and enthusiastic the front desk staff were; their attentive service made me feel incredibly warm and welcome. To get such a high-quality hotel at such a reasonable price – I'm genuinely very satisfied and highly recommend it!DariPLN 327

Ever since watching the TV series 'Blossoms Shanghai,' I've wanted to stay at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai, and this experience truly exceeded my expectations. First off, I was amazed by how many famous people have stayed here – Qian Xuesen had his wedding here, Soong Ching-ling and Soong Mei-ling got engaged here, and even Queen Elizabeth II of the UK and former US President Obama have been guests, not to mention Charlie Chaplin.
On the first day, during check-in, a staff member named Alexander was incredibly detailed and passionate in his introduction. He exuded a strong sense of pride, as if he were part of something sacred and magnificent, and his confidence was truly infectious. After that, when I was shown to my room, unlike most hotels where they just lead you to the door and leave, he thoroughly explained all the features and even proactively helped me connect to the Wi-Fi, which was a very thoughtful touch.
Breakfast at the Jasmine Lounge was also exceptional. While the variety wasn't extensive, every single item was delicious and exquisitely presented. My wife even declared it the best meal she's had at a five-star hotel in China.
Our Ctrip package also included a performance at their renowned Jazz Bar. Normally, a single ticket with a minimum spend is 418 RMB, and for two people, it’s over 900 RMB. However, our room package on Ctrip included this, so my wife and I got to enjoy it, and it was fantastic. This is a Guinness World Record-holding jazz band, known as the oldest in the world. The performers last night had an average age of 75. My wife absolutely loved it.
On the second day, we took a guided tour of the Peace Museum at 10 AM. This tour provided so much insight, revealing the hotel's rich history and numerous stories. The staff member, Xiao Wei, gave a half-hour explanation, and we learned a great deal, making us feel that this was truly a memorable and worthwhile visit.DariPLN 1,141

The hotel's overall ambiance is quite unique. All rooms are scenic with floor-to-ceiling windows, and access to each floor is secure with a key card. The Adventure Park next door is fun to explore, though it's quite cold this time of year. The evening light and water show, drone show, and even the water curtain show in the hotel lobby are all definitely worth seeing. A special shout-out to Bruce, our butler, who was incredibly helpful! He contacted us via WeChat before check-in to confirm details, and during our stay, his reminders, arrangements, and care were very thoughtful and timely. Many thanks to him! The hotel management feels very organized and efficient. For instance, even with a large crowd at the buffet breakfast, the staff were diligent and responsible, ensuring food was replenished, guests were seated, and dishes were cleared – everything was well-ordered. This truly reflects their high standard of management. I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance.DariPLN 731

This is our re-visit of the hotel. I don’t know why, but it just felt homey instantly (usually it will take me a night to get used to the room), it’s just comfortable with peaceful ambiance and soft lighting. The breakfast was amazing and it really helped to start our day in a pleasant way! We also had a pleasant interaction with the room-service robot who delivered bottle water to our room twice 😄 You just had to try it!!! too bad I couldn’t hug the robot 😄 I also like the Hotel’s good and combined use of technology and human service. I called from the room to ask for bottle water, and it was answered by a lady who said they will send a Robot to deliver. (In another hotel, I also made a call from the room with a small request, but it was an auto answer where you had to talk to a machine and dial the numbers when prompted, which often ended in frustration). Other than that, just one suggestion, I thought the quality of the toiletries and slippers provided could be better compared to the peer hotels, yea, especially for the slippers, they felt too synthetic compared to the slippers from the other two hotels I stayed at during this travel. Overall, great stay, pleasant experience and will revisit!DariPLN 303

This hotel is perfectly suited to my taste. The lobby is predominantly decorated in black and red, with even the glass panels featuring a red tint. The lobby area is incredibly spacious, boasting many distinct seating zones, which made me feel like I could spend an entire day just lounging there.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to a large shopping mall, MixC City, offering a wide array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Plus, it's just a few subway stops from either the train station or the airport. Getting to the hotel from Ziteng Road Metro Station: exit and enter the shopping mall through its main illuminated entrance. For the most straightforward path, *before* you reach the pedestrian street of the metro commercial area, follow the signs to take the elevator up to the second floor. From there, walk through the parking lot between Buildings A and B, and you'll arrive directly at the hotel, with no stairs to navigate.
Overall, I feel the hotel's marketing efforts are insufficient. This hidden gem truly deserves to be discovered by more people.DariPLN 125
