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:

Shanghai Public Transport Card (交通卡) 💳
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.

- Last trains: Around 10:30–11:30 PM.

Sangat BaikGiven that I went to Suzhou gardens days before, I was not impressed with this Yu garden at all. Anyway it was a destination to tick off in my checklist so I am happy I made it on my last day in SH.
5/5
CemerlangIt’s an amazing place, a walk back in time when every bit of the garden is so well thought out based on the owners’ vision, incorporating nature with Chinese aesthetics, fengshui, religious & cultural aspects of life. So beautiful, so difficult to imagine all the skill & experience of all the artisans who built this place. I took the tour in Mandarin and my awesome guide was Xiao Ting 小婷. She is highly knowledgeable not just about the history of the garden but all the cultural nuances of the architectural design, the artwork, the botanical selection, the poetic aspects, etc. I had a great time and learned a lot from her today. This is a must-see place to visit if you are a landscape designer or simply love beautiful gardens.

CemerlangThe view is very interesting. The city is very beautiful. I think it is worth seeing it from the top and enjoying beauty. Looking for the glass floor, thought on the second ball from the top, but it turned out that there is a tour of the cosmodrome, as I think it is not very interesting and expensive. When they went out, it turned out that it wasn't so easy to get out of this tower, but the glass floor was a little lower, urah.

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 🚇✨.

For two years in a row, we've chosen to stay at this hotel for Chinese New Year in Shanghai, and it truly lives up to its reputation as an established five-star property. Its location on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is incredibly convenient: the subway station is just a 5-minute walk away. Right across the street is The No.1 Department Store, and next door is the M&M's Flagship Store, offering plenty of shopping and dining options for the whole family. There are also countless authentic Shanghai eateries on nearby Jiujiang Road, Tianjin Road, Fujian Road, and Guangxi Road – so many choices you can't try them all! The hotel staff are warm and polite; the front desk even assigned us a room with a fantastic view, where we could see the 'Shanghai Trio' (Lujiazui skyscrapers), Nanjing Road, and the Huangpu River. Additionally, the cleaning staff are diligent and thorough; our room and bathroom were spotless. Staying at the Xinye Hotel made our Chinese New Year holiday feel extra joyful and comfortable. We'll definitely be back to this hotel on our future trips to Shanghai.DariPKR 27,375

This is another hidden gem of a hotel that exceeded all my expectations! 😍 Located in the New World on Nanjing Road, its prime location goes without saying. Despite being 20 years old, the hotel is remarkably well-maintained. The rooms, hallways, and lobby all exude a sense of comfort. The rooms are fully equipped with practical amenities, avoiding unnecessary clutter. The swimming pool was a pleasant surprise – the views, cleanliness, water temperature, facilities, and service were all exceptional, making for an experience far beyond what I anticipated 👍. The revolving restaurant on the 45th floor is also worth multiple visits – highly recommended!

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.DariPKR 59,624

The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw away from Yu Garden and Chenghuang Temple. It was so convenient, we visited daily! We were lucky enough to catch the Chinese New Year lantern festival, and entering before 2 PM meant free admission to see the lanterns. Yu Garden and Chenghuang Temple truly encapsulate the essence of Shanghai's culture. Staying at a hotel just steps away meant we didn't have to wait an hour for a taxi back, which was incredibly convenient. Seriously.

The Westin Bund Center Shanghai - An Unforgettable Stay
During my recent trip to Shanghai, I chose The Westin Bund Center Shanghai as my accommodation, and the experience far exceeded my expectations, compelling me to write this positive review.
Check-in Experience:
Upon entering the hotel, I was immediately drawn to its luxurious yet welcoming ambiance. The front desk staff were warm and professional, promptly handled my check-in, and thoroughly answered all my questions regarding the hotel's facilities. The room's decor was elegant and well-arranged, providing a perfect space for relaxation.

Of particular note was the modern bathroom design, which offered high-quality toiletries, making my showers very relaxing.
Special Surprise:
During my stay, the hotel also prepared a special surprise for me – an anniversary room setup. The bed was covered with rose petals, heart-shaped balloons and a cute little bear adorned the headboard, accompanied by a bottle of red wine and a plate of exquisite desserts. This thoughtful and considerate gesture deeply moved me and made this stay even more memorable.

The hotel's restaurant offered a rich selection of breakfast options, from Chinese to Western, all fresh and delicious. I especially recommend their fruit basket and homemade cakes; they were not only visually appealing but also tasted superb.
Summary:
The Westin Bund Center Shanghai not only provided a first-class accommodation experience but also made me feel the warmth of home through its meticulous service and surprising room setup. Whether for business travel or leisure, I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you, The Westin Bund Center Shanghai, for making my Shanghai trip even more perfect.DariPKR 41,428

I brought my child to Shanghai for a few days before the Spring Festival, and after some comparison, I decided to stay here, which turned out to be a wise choice. First, the transportation is convenient. It's a 2-minute walk from Jing'an Temple Metro Station, which has multiple lines connecting everywhere. Taxis are also readily available. Second, there are plenty of shopping and dining options around Jing'an Temple. Third, although the room has a classic feel, it has everything you need. Finally, the service was excellent. Concierge Andy Sheng was very helpful, highly recommended!DariPKR 37,488

Facilities: The bathroom sink wasn't very practical; water splashed everywhere easily.
Environment: The breakfast area and lobby bar are shared and quite small.
Service: The hotel service was really good. The front desk staff, especially Loretta, were very professional. She deserves a huge commendation – even on her days off, she'd message me to say I could reach out to her anytime if I needed anything. The concierge service was also excellent, promptly anticipating guests' needs, making both check-in and check-out very smooth. Housekeeping was great too; turndown service was always done by the time I returned to my room.
Breakfast is a crucial indicator of a hotel's quality, reflecting its attention to detail and standards through its offerings and quality control. After I spoke with the hotel, there was an improvement the next day. The bakery items were truly outstanding; the pastries were perfectly flaky, and both the pancakes and waffles were delicious. The fried dishes also had a great texture.DariPKR 64,985

So close to perfection.... So close.
I have been putting off staying at this hotel for years, and that is a regret. This hotel is amazing. Location, Great. Staff, friendly. Beds, comfortable. 24 hour room service, fantastic. Bidet toilet seat, amazing. For the price, this hotel is a steal. Better service and better rooms than hotels that are double the price.
My biggest problem. The bathtub is too small. It looks big, but for a 190cm guy, it's just way way too small. Looks big in pictures... Not in reality. They probably have bigger tubs in different rooms (maybe executive or suites). I will contact them before booking again to make sure tub is big.
The pool is great. The Sauna and steam room in the changing rooms are great. I do wish there was a jacuzzi or some hot pool... Either in the gendered changing rooms or by the pool.
Recommendations: the bathrobes are small, get some plus sized ones. More coffee in the room, 2 pods aren't enough. More water in rooms, 4 small bottles aren't enough. Allow cooling during winter, I know it's not easy, but many expats don't want 25° rooms. Finally... For room service. EGGS BENEDICT!!!! You already have a good room service breakfast menu... But you need eggs Benedict.
I judge hotels room service based on club sandwiches. This club sandwich was mid tier. Not bad, not fantastic. Granted I ordered the late night club sandwich. Maybe there is a difference. But this is the same with all of the other room service food I ordered. Good. Just a few steps away from great. But super happy there is a 24hr menu! Next time I stay I will experiment with regular hours food vs late night.
In all. This hotel is amazing! Definitely will stay again. Just hopefully I can get a bigger bathtub next time.DariPKR 35,133

The front desk staff were incredibly enthusiastic and proactively arranged a quiet room with a great view, just as I requested. The Club River View room was absolutely amazing, directly facing the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower – the night view was so romantic! The housekeeping auntie decorated the room for our anniversary and even sent a cake, which was so thoughtful and heartwarming. The breakfast selection was rich, with both Chinese and Western options. The freshly made noodles and desserts were excellent! The overall service was meticulous and attentive. I'll definitely choose this place again next time!
Club Lounge experience: Highly recommended! The juices were freshly squeezed, and breakfast was semi-buffet with delicious à la carte options.DariPKR 46,708

So many people for the New Year holiday! We had to queue for breakfast at 9:30 AM. Not sure if it's because of the New Year or if it's always like this! The InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland is definitely worth a visit though. 👍
But it was so crowded and lively that it kind of brought down the hotel's vibe a bit. 😭 The light show was great, and the aquarium downstairs was a big hit with the kids! 💕
The afternoon tea set pastries were just so-so, but the à la carte cakes were much better! 😋DariPKR 62,223

Great location, close to University Road and Wujiaochang. We specifically chose this room after seeing photos of the tatami area, which was perfect for our child's homework. The bathroom area was quite spacious, featuring a double vanity. Cleanliness was excellent. Ordering food delivery was convenient, with a robot even bringing it directly to our door. The hotel staff were all excellent. Overall, I was very satisfied.DariPKR 25,263

Extremely clean and tidy, with fantastic value for money! The room was spotless and odor-free, the bedding was soft and super comfortable, and the bathroom's wet/dry separation was a thoughtful touch. The front desk service was warm and attentive, making check-in and check-out incredibly fast. The surrounding area has convenient transportation, making it easy to find food and go shopping. The overall experience exceeded my expectations; I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm here. Highly recommended!DariPKR 5,930

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!DariPKR 26,766

Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center Shanghai|12.35km dari pusat bandar
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.DariPKR 15,231
