Shanghai Metro, Line 1

Shanghai Metro/Line|1 was the first metro line in Shanghai to be opened in 1995. It runs from Gongfu Xincun in the north, via Shanghai Railway Station to Xin Zhuang in the south. This line added a very important transport method to the city, making transportation between home and work much more convenient for thousands of inhabitants of Shanghai.

The part running from Gongfu Xincun to Shanghai Railway Station was opened later, december 28th 2004. This resulted in the metro line being extended by 12.4km, in total the line is now 28.8km long.

Using this line numerous important subway stations in the city can be reached, it is clear that the subway line was designed to pass these important locations in Shanghai. Ofcourse because of the large amount of important locations all located on this one line it also means this line is extremely busy. It is the busiest line of the metro system, and will continue to be so until the foreable future.

The most important stations on this line are:

• Shanghai Railway Station - Connects the metro with the most important railway station in the city, allowing easy transport to and from other provinces.

• People's Square - Very important business and shopping area, but also close to multiple important tourist attractions making the station busy all day long.

• Xujiahui - Important business and shopping area.

• Shanghai Stadium - Sports stadium and location of the biggest regional and interregional bus station in the city.

• South Railway Station - The second railway station of the city, mostly accommodating train connections to more southern cities.
