Discover Shanghai, one station at a time. Shanghai Subway Map brings a transport map, offline route planning and a practical city guide together on iPhone and iPad.

EXPLORE THE INCLUDED METRO NETWORK Browse the included Shanghai Metro lines on an interactive map. Explore color-coded lines and stations. View the network, focus on a line and open station information to understand the places along your journey. Coverage follows the app’s stored network data; confirm current services and operating conditions with the relevant transport operator. PLAN ROUTES OFFLINE Choose your departure and destination stations, then review the suggested journey. See the stops, transfers and estimated travel time before setting off. The planner calculates supported routes using stored network data, so route calculation works offline. Open the route map for geographical context when an internet connection is available. Estimated times help you plan; they are not live departure times and may not include waiting or delays.

Use station names as anchors for a day in Shanghai, from People’s Square to Lujiazui and beyond. DISCOVER SHANGHAI BEYOND THE PLATFORM Explore the station-based city guide and find ideas for places to visit. Connect sightseeing with the transport network. Read about featured landmarks, understand nearby station access and choose what interests you. Check opening hours, reservations, ticket requirements and entry arrangements directly with each venue before visiting. KEEP PRACTICAL INFORMATION CLOSE Read transport information, shopping guidance and useful visitor tips in the app. Find emergency resources and links to travel services. Explore accommodation, tours and other options through external providers where offered. External bookings and purchases are handled by those providers under their own terms; availability and prices can change. MADE FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Carry your plan on iPhone or use the larger iPad display to study the network and read the guide. Move from the map to a route, then from a station to ideas for the surrounding area. Whether this is your first Shanghai visit or a chance to explore a new district, transport and discovery stay together.
