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 2 (Green) – The most important for us tourists! Goes to Pudong Airport, Lujiazui (Oriental Pearl Tower), People’s Square, Nanjing Road, Hongqiao Airport & Railway Station.
- 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.

You’ve got 3 easy options:

Super convenient (my favorite way!).

- Last trains: Around 10:30–11:30 PM.

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. Just my expression when entering;; 🫠

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.

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 🚇✨.

The hotel back door is just right beside Nanjing Pedestrian Street which makes it extremely convenient for shopping, dining & sightseeing.
The Bund is just about 15mins walk from the hotel.
It's an old school hotel! Hence, don't expect the rooms to have a smart technology system. Hopefully, the hotel will upgrade the rooms with smart technology system which is able to make things more convenient.
We have a free upgraded room. The room is very spacious & clean.
The room's heating air conditioner isn't blowing air, so a fan is needed to improve air circulation in the room.

I stayed at this hotel for three days and wanted to share my brief thoughts. When booking a hotel in Shanghai, I looked at many options and paid close attention to the negative reviews for each, and the Radisson Hotel was no exception. Many of the negative comments mentioned outdated facilities. However, after considering the brand, location, and price, I ultimately chose this hotel, though I was still a bit apprehensive. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find the hotel's location excellent, right at the intersection of Nanjing Road and People's Square, making it convenient to reach various popular attractions. The lobby has a typical luxury hotel style. Every detail in the room also conveyed that, despite its age, the quality is definitely on par with its competitors. The furniture is well-crafted with good materials, and the fixtures and sanitary ware are all from reputable brands. The overall condition is actually better than some newer hotels. Furthermore, the front desk staff upgraded us to a junior suite and provided an extra bed free of charge, adding a special touch to our short vacation.Dari€79

I've lost count how many times I've stayed at Agile 😊 and each time leaves an impression. This visit had a slight disappointment though: the pool 🏊♀️ was closed for a month-long renovation, and while there was a notice in the room, it was still a bit of a bummer 😞. However, the breakfast 🍳 for several consecutive days deserves high praise! We had two days of Chinese-style 🥢 and one day of Western-style breakfast, with a wide variety of delicious options that really satisfied our taste buds!

I come to Shanghai every two or three months, and I always stay here.
**Ambiance:** The red maple leaves in the garden have turned, and they're so beautiful. It truly lives up to its reputation as a Japanese-managed hotel; even the environmental details have that special touch. This is why I love this hotel. Plus, the express checkout is super convenient.
**Service:** This time, I felt the service quality had declined a bit. I called for things to my room twice and had to wait a long time, then call to follow up. Especially when the room heating wasn't enough, I was freezing while waiting. Later, the housekeeper proactively brought an extra blanket.
However, as a loyal guest, I didn't feel a special sense of belonging.
**Facilities:** The remote control by the bed is really difficult to use. The settings jump around, and it's hard to tell what you're adjusting. It's usually fine, but in winter, the room temperature just wouldn't go up. It was truly freezing.
**Breakfast:** Still delicious.Dari€93

Breakfast offered an abundant selection, from freshly squeezed juices and local specialties to Eggs Benedict; every dish was exquisite and delicious. The evening dining was stunning, perfectly blending traditional flavors with creative twists. The lobby bar had an elegant atmosphere, and the mixologists were incredibly skilled. Room service was also swift and efficient, with no compromise on quality.

This hotel is just beautiful and welcoming. People standing at the front will rush to help opening the door and unload your luggage from the car. The receptionist was really lovely and helpful and provide all the details in English. Then you will be brought to your room.
The room was really lovely. The beds were a bit small for an adult and kids but this is based on foreigners size. The bathroom was not clean properly with stains on the wall, doors and bathtub ( picture attached) but this may be due of the fact that the room was old.
There was a mini bar in the room but no price available.
The hotel have a heated pool and multiple restaurant on site. The kids love the pool.
The hotel is in the middle of all the places that need to be visited. If you go out from the hotel and turn right. You are 10 min walk from Nanjing Road. If you turn left, you are 10 min walk from YuYan Garden. And if you walk in direction of the back of the hotel, you are at the Bund. If you go straight you ll be most likely at people’s square.

There was a stench in the toilet (suspected backflow of air from the sewer) which housekeeping attempted to solve by covering the drains using tissue paper.
Hotel location was good, situated along the shopping street and subway. It is also within walking distance from the bund.
Hotel service was relatively lacking. No attempt was made to assist me with my 4 big luggage at the lobby during arrival and departure.
Would recommend the hotel for less fussy travellers who value convenience over services.Dari€77

Although the room was small, it was very well-appointed. From the window, I could see iconic landmarks like Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl, and Jing'an Temple was right in front of me. The service was standard and reliable, always responsive to requests. Breakfast had limited options but was exquisite. The in-room dining service was very convenient. The wonton noodles I ordered the first time were exceptionally delicious, so I ordered them again today for lunch, but the taste and texture were significantly different, and I'm not sure why. The cuisine at the second-floor restaurant, Yuanyuan, was good and reasonably priced. The service there wasn't overly enthusiastic but was very thorough.Dari€91

Review: The Langham Shanghai — Still Well-Located, But No Longer the Same
The Langham Shanghai has long been one of my preferred hotels, especially before the pandemic. After many stays, I’ve come to expect a certain standard of hospitality, consistency, and refinement. This recent visit, however, showed a noticeable decline across several areas.
Service
Overall service from the staff was acceptable. Front-line employees remained polite and tried their best. However, the manager on duty—a Caucasian manager—felt out of touch with Asian hospitality norms. His attitude came off as dismissive and rude, which immediately set the wrong tone. The contrast between the staff’s warmth and his behavior was striking.
Breakfast Buffet
The most significant drop was in the breakfast buffet. Quality has slipped in a way that’s hard to ignore: food didn’t taste as fresh, dishes weren’t as well prepared, and the overall selection felt uninspired compared to previous years. At this point, it’s honestly better to go out for breakfast.
Room & Housekeeping
Room cleanliness was fine, but small inconsistencies added up. Turn-down service was missed on some nights. When I requested water refill, the staff who arrived seemed confused about why she had been sent up, leading to an awkward exchange. These are small moments, but in a five-star hotel, they highlight cracks in training and coordination.
Overall Impression
The Langham Shanghai still has one unbeatable strength: location. But nearly everything else has declined—food, consistency, management attitude, and attention to detail. After years of loyalty, I’m now considering switching to a different hotel for future trips. The experience simply didn’t match the standards I’ve known and trusted from The Langham brand.
A disappointing stay from a once-reliable favorite.Dari€154

Loved the service here and attention to detail. Staff were all so friendly and made us so welcome. Really outstanding! From the time we stepped out the car, all the staff made us feel so welcome. The concierge even helped me to book a late night snack on ******* then paid for it on his app when mine wouldn’t work. Really superb service!
Location was great too. Short walk of maybe 8 minutes to the Dapuqiao (Line 9) station inside the Sun Moon shopping centre with lots of eateries. Very near to Tianzifang which is 15 minutes walk. Great specialty coffee cafe called Danro Coffee within 10 minutes walk. And within 5km to many major sights in Shanghai within the Huangpu area.Dari€87

True to its name, this hotel boasts a rich history. My stay was an incredibly worthwhile experience from every perspective. The booking process was a breeze, with Trip.com providing its usual convenient, fast, and supportive deals. The hotel service was excellent. I arrived before 8 AM due to an early flight to Shanghai, even though check-in isn't until 3 PM. The front desk patiently helped arrange a room for me to check in as early as possible. What’s more, they thoughtfully escorted us to the hotel's spa to change and freshen up. At 10 AM, there was even a detailed historical and cultural tour of the hotel, which was very insightful and historically significant, reflecting our nation's development from weakness to strength. The surrounding transportation is convenient, with easy access to the subway and taxis. Located right by Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund, there are countless beautiful sights to behold. The service attitude was consistently great, making one feel very welcome, especially during this deep winter season. The interior decor and furnishings are a bit traditional, which is understandable given how quickly times change. Overall, it's still worth it, and I highly recommend everyone to experience it.Dari€255

The hotel service is general thoughtful. We asked for medicated oil as my mum was not feeling well, but there wasn't one available. Instead of just saying no, the customer service offered to send us oil essence that would help to improve headaches and stress. And this really helped my mum to feel and sleep better.
F&B service staff at Elements and Chinese restaurant were attentive and competent. Generally, we did enjoy our stay in this hotel. Pillows are comfortable and housekeeping always did a thorough job everyday. Views from our rooms are nice and we could see the light up at 6pm everyday.
Check-in service could be improved. We had never been kept waiting to check-in before as every hotel we went to made sure the guests don't wait for too long. After waiting in the line for 30mins, I observed that the front desk needs to input alot of information for each guest. Maybe more efficient system and better process flow would help the staff and have less customers complaining. Everyone around was were dismayed by the waiting time. Note that whenever travellers arrive to check in, most are tired and burdened with baggage and want to settle down as soon as possible. Last thing we want is to queue for a long time to check in.
Having mentioned that, I would like to give credit to the front desk staff. Despite the pressure from the sounds of grumpy guests waiting in the line, they still handled each guest professionally and attending to all the enquiries patiently. This is not easy.
Also, your porter service could be improved also. There are more people standing at the concierge counter indoors, and usually only 1 outside. Which is something I don't understand. During our 4-day stay here, no one helped us at all. Even when we checked out, it was our driver who helped us with our bags. The bell boy chose to help another car who was checking in. Usually we tip bell boy but we had no chance to tip at all here.
The corridor to the rooms are mostly carpeted so it is really difficult to drag our luggage. The lifts are spread out along two long rows and I have seen a lady dragging her luggage from one lift to the next lift, and then to the next one cursing because she could not reach each lift in time before the door closed. We felt tired too through our stay here, turning 360 degrees to look out for lift doors opening.
We do recommend the hotel for a guaranteed comfortable stay here as it is near to many major shopping malls and attractions and restaurants.Dari€102

Five stars, no hesitation! This stay was absolutely perfect, from the ambiance to the service, everything was flawless. It truly is an architectural marvel that you *must* visit at least once in your life. I'm completely captivated after staying here.
The hotel's environment is simply breathtaking! The world's only 88-meter-deep 'pit' hotel lives up to its reputation. Its unique design, built into the cliff face, exudes sophistication. The dynamic water curtain in the lobby is elegant and lively, and a glance out the window reveals stunning cliffside waterfalls. By day, you see the lush green mountains and rocky cliffs in perfect harmony; as evening falls, the lights illuminate, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere. Every corner showcases thoughtful design, incorporating a mining-inspired aesthetic. Every photo you take is magazine-worthy, offering an immersive experience of nature and architecture blending seamlessly. A special highlight was the 8:30 PM cliffside light and water show featuring themes from 'Shan Hai Jing' (Classic of Mountains and Seas) and a drone performance. Light and water intertwined, drones intricately depicted mythical imagery in the sky, and the cliff face transformed with dynamic light and shadow. The visual and auditory impact was incredible, creating an amazing atmosphere. It's an immersive dive into the collision of technology and culture, an experience definitely not to be missed.
The room experience was a delightful surprise! The room design is simple yet grand, with meticulous attention to detail. The sapphire-themed interior felt luxurious. Thoughtful amenities like a Dyson hairdryer and high-end toiletries were provided, and the facilities were comprehensive and modern. The entire room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the independent bathtub and scenic balcony were definite bonuses. Waking up to the natural scenery in the morning was incredibly blissful, making for a perfectly comfortable stay.
The dining experience was a culinary feast! The Chinese restaurant, Cai Feng Lou, lived up to its Black Pearl Restaurant rating. The beef was tender and juicy, and the soup was rich and flavorful. Every dish used high-quality ingredients and had authentic flavors, truly showcasing the essence of Chinese cuisine. The Western restaurant, Fish Eye, had an incredible ambiance, surrounded by an aquarium underwater. The seafood was fresh and sweet, and the Western dishes were exquisite and delicious, both visually appealing and tasty. Whether it was a main meal or a casual snack, everything was incredibly satisfying.
And the service was impeccable! A special shout-out to our exclusive butler, Alice. From communicating our needs before check-in and providing detailed explanations of the facilities upon arrival, to offering thoughtful reminders and responding to requests throughout our trip, she was patient, attentive, and incredibly thorough. She anticipated every need, making the entire journey feel so warm and cared for. All the hotel staff were also enthusiastic and professional. The bellhops proactively helped with luggage, and the restaurant staff were attentive and meticulous. You could feel their genuine service attitude everywhere you went. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic.
This stay was comprehensively satisfying. The environment, rooms, dining, and service all exceeded expectations. It's definitely a top choice for a vacation or getaway. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and highly recommend it to everyone! 🌟Dari€208

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!Dari€69

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.Dari€29
