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 😂)

🚆 2. List of Shanghai Metro Lines & Stations
Some of the main lines you’ll definitely use as a tourist:

- Line 10 (Purple) – Great for Yu Garden, Xintiandi, and Shanghai Zoo.
- Line 11 (Brown) – The line you’ll take to Shanghai Disneyland 🎢✨.
- Line 1 (Red) – Runs north-south, stopping at People’s Square, Xujiahui (big shopping area).

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.

💳 5. How to Pay: Ticket, Metro Card & QR Code
You’ve got 3 easy options:

Buy from machine or counter. Insert into gate, then keep until exit.
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

- Last trains: Around 10:30–11:30 PM.

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.

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.

Cemerlang靜安寺是上海市中心國家級保護地,爲城市人羣提供喘息的機會,並舉辦特色展品,包括明代青銅鐘聲和揚州八偏心畫家的藝術品。🖼寺廟週邊,這裏有無數的購物中心,餐館和咖啡館。您可以將參觀寺廟與購物會議聯繫起來,也可以參觀一家不錯的餐廳。🥗寺廟對面還有一個美麗的公園,很多中國老人聚集在一起跳舞,播放音樂。🕺
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 🚇✨.

We are Shanghainese who immigrated to Canada, and this trip to Shanghai was a visit back home to see family and friends. My wife and I know Shanghai inside out. My wife used to work for IHG, so she's well aware that Holiday Inn Express is a premium brand under IHG. The location of the New Asia Holiday Inn Express is unbeatable: situated right on Shanghai's bustling Nanjing East Road, surrounded by famous shops, and conveniently next to the People's Square Metro station transport hub, offering excellent connectivity. The hotel's service and facilities are top-notch, meticulous, and make guests feel right at home, earning it popularity among both domestic and international travelers. We also know that New Asia's cuisine is fantastic, but unfortunately, we had so many dinner invitations from friends during this Shanghai trip that we didn't get a chance to try it. We will definitely choose to stay here again on future visits back home. (Check-in: March 24, 2026 - Check-out: March 27, 2026)DariMYR 419

My family and I recently stayed at the Shanghai Agile Marriott Hotel City Centre while visiting Shanghai, and if I had to sum up my two-day experience in one word, it would be ”impeccable”! From the moment I stepped out of the car, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
First and foremost, I must give a huge shout-out to Koi from the front desk! From the start, Koi greeted us with a sincere smile that instantly made us feel at ease. Not only was she highly efficient, but she was also incredibly attentive. We arrived a bit too early before our check-in time. Seeing that we had luggage and elderly parents with us, she quickly arranged a quiet room on a high floor near the lift for us. She also patiently explained the hotel's facilities and breakfast. Thanks to her enthusiastic service, our travel fatigue melted away, and our first impression of Shanghai couldn't have been better!
As for the hotel itself, the location is absolutely superb! It's just a few minutes' walk to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and it’s incredibly convenient whether you want to go shopping or see the night view at the Bund. The room was pure Marriott quality – spacious, bright, with comfortable bedding, and a beautiful view of the bustling city skyline. Watching the lights of Shanghai at night from the window was a fantastic experience.
The hotel facilities are also top-notch. The speed of hot water in the shower was instant, unlike many hotels where I had to wait a few seconds. Breakfast had a wide variety of choices, with both Chinese and Western dishes available, catering to all tastes.
Overall, our stay was made even more memorable thanks to Koi's excellent service. There are many good hotels, but service with a personal touch is rare. We will definitely choose this hotel again on our next trip to Shanghai! I wish Koi all the best in her work and life!DariMYR 578

Stayed one night at the Garden Hotel during the ***** New Year. Usually, it's around 600-700 RMB, but for CNY it was nearly 1000 RMB due to the premium.
I wanted to experience staying in a historic building in Shanghai, and the Garden Hotel seems to be a relatively good value for money. The location is excellent; it has a large garden in such a prime area. You can easily walk to Huaihai Road and Fuxing Road.
The service was also superb. It's rare to ask for one item from room service and have them bring a whole bunch of things [crying emoji], I was pleasantly surprised, especially since the hotel was fully booked during the ***** New Year. Thumbs up!
Aside from the room being a bit small and dated, the toilet was the common smart type. Breakfast was Japanese style, which I wasn't quite used to. Even with a full house during CNY, there was a queue, but the efficiency was high, and you didn't have to wait long.

We got 2 very spacious deluxe suites at an attractive rate for the four of us.Eventhough the rooms look dated but they are comfy nevertheless. The only issue is the bathroom shower area which does not drain well hence causing flooding in the whole bathroom..I think its the design of the shower floor trap tile that needs to change as the current makeshift tile cover only blocks the flow of water.They can always replace it with a proper floor trap tile which drains.
Housekeeping need to give attention to the towels provided as eye lashes of old guests are found on one of the ”new” towers(see pix).Also toilet amenities are not consistently replaced.
Still,this is a nice & value for money premium hotel to stay for families due to its relatively quiet neighbourhood plus its within walking distance to the shopping district of Ch'ng AnDariMYR 708

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.DariMYR 719

To get a river view, I specifically booked a room in the Pujiang Building. The front desk lady, upon realizing the guests in a prime river-view room were checking out late, very thoughtfully upgraded me to a suite with a direct river view. The room was spacious, and the white decor made it feel very fresh and clean. Both the amenities and service were top-notch. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and the breakfast spread was excellent. I highly recommend it for both family trips and business travelers.DariMYR 541

Five out of five stars! A trip to the quarry, healed by beautiful scenery and heartwarming service ✨
I made a special trip on Saturday to check out the InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations, perfectly embodying high-end luxury and thoughtful consideration.
Upon checking in, I immediately experienced the hotel's photography service. The photographer was incredibly professional, excellent at finding angles, understanding lighting and composition, and patiently guided my poses and movements. He captured stunning, atmospheric shots, effortlessly freezing the unique beauty of the quarry and wonderful moments – it was such a pleasant surprise~
I must particularly commend our exclusive butler, Alisa! She was enthusiastic and meticulous throughout our stay. She proactively addressed our needs before and after check-in, meticulously handled itinerary planning and detailed arrangements. She efficiently resolved all sorts of minor issues immediately, responding promptly and handling everything thoughtfully. She was gentle and reliable, making the entire journey worry-free and comfortable, and we felt incredibly warm🥰
The hotel itself certainly lives up to its name as a ”world architectural wonder” 🏨. The 88-meter-deep quarry landscape is truly breathtaking, the water curtain in the lobby is vibrant and beautiful, and the cliffside scenery is grand and unique. The guest room facilities are high-end and complete, clean and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the stunning views. The public areas are fully equipped, and every detail exudes quality. It was an immersive experience of the romance of humanity and nature intertwined~DariMYR 863

Wujiaochang Commercial Area Shanghai|9.08km dari pusat bandar
All the receptionists were very helpful with sorting out Taobao order and returns and even with their little English they still try to clarify and explain how it works. Many thanks to Zhang Ding Ding and his co workers (apology I forgot to ask their names). The toilet in the rooms is equipped with bidet. The location is only a short walk, around 300mtrs from Exit 10 Jiangwan Stadium subway station (line 10). There is an alley/tunnel connecting Jiangwan stadium and Wujiaochang subway stn, full of food stalls, snack, drink, etc. Basically you won't get starved even you stay there more than 2 weeks. Good place for shopping. no need to go to East Nanjing or LuJiaZui. Thumbs up!!DariMYR 312

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 room was large and spacious with well-adjusted lighting. The service was attentive and warm, always ready to assist. Breakfast offered a rich and comprehensive variety. It's close to Hongqiao high-speed rail, metro, and airport. I recommend staying here when in Shanghai.DariMYR 330

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.DariMYR 161
