Shanghai Map(s)

by **yu888** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 3:57 pm

Since UrbanRail.net has done fantastic work to put together some Metro info, I figured it best just to provide this link:
http://www.urbanrail.net/as/shan/shanghai.htm

That site includes current Shanghai Metro Map, a brief history and introduction to the system, as well as future plans for the system.

Enjoy!

Good stuff. But I can't find the link to the future subway construction plans. Is that in that site somewhere? I hear there are another 5 or 6 lines planned for the next 5-10 years.

It's helpful especially to those who intend buying apartment but aren't sensible to direction

Yup, would be useful to have a bus route info as well. I see so many plying the roads but never take them as I have absolutely no idea where they're heading.

Xinhua bookstores (ex the one near Jingan Temple metro station) sell many excellent maps. The ones with the little numbers and arrows in major streets are bus maps - the number is the bus route number. It is not as clear as a color coded route map IMHO, but with careful study you can figure out where buses go.

Other ways to figure out the buses: 1) get a Chinese friend to call up the mass transit agency to find the buses for the specific places you want to go to/from. 2) trial and error: get on a bus, put 2 yuan in the fare box, find out where it goes. If it goes somewhere remote, just take a taxi to get back to civilization. What did you lose? 2 yuan and the taxi fare. What did you gain? Information.

BTW in my opinion the public buses here are actually pretty nice, most of them are fairly new Volvo models, reasonably comfortable seats and they even have little flat panel TVs to entertain the passengers.

I want to know if there is any resource online in English that provides a map of Shanghai and where I can type in an address, such as "99 Huai Hai Road" and it will show me exactly where on the map that is (i.e. where is the closest intersection/cross street). Thanks for your help!

The only interactive online map in English I know of is Smart Shanghai's. While you can locate a decent amount of roads, it doesn't include road numbers and there is also no way to see the name of the streets in Chinese characters.

http://www.smartshanghai.com/maps/smsh_map.php

The other one I know of is Baidu's. While it doesn't have search in English, it does have street number search and has almost all the streets in Shanghai.

http://maps.baidu.com/

There are also some non-interactive maps online, but I've never found those useful so I don't have any URLs for them.

You might also like to check out http://www.shanghaimap.info/, a new and (soon to be) bilingual online map of Shanghai, which is very detailed and includes all of the new and outlying areas (further parts of Pudong, etc.).

Line 3 and 4 have same tracks (where overlapping) so you can just get out and wait for the other line to come

by **profkim** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 3:33 pm

Is line four finished? Can you get from Xuhui to Pudong along the counterclockwise route?

by **profkim** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 5:18 pm

does anyone know the answer to this?

Is line 4 finished?

by **Bluebag** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 6:30 pm

I believe not. They had a cave-in a couple of years ago in that bit while building it, so the rest opened long before the southern river crossing will be finished.

I'm a big fan of this map.

http://www.exploreshanghai.com/metro/

It has english and chinese, plus if you click and drag from one station to another it shows you the route, the fare, and an estimated time.

The Shanghai Daily has now added a Transport page which has lots of info about the Metro, Buses and taxis

Wow..... Wow.... Wow.... Finally it arrived! UUMAP has updated their map and it is great! new link is
http://shanghai.uumap.com/#
You can type the street name (in English on the area where the magnifying glass is) and it'll located it on the map. Well the major roads at least, haven't try all the roads yet.

Found this update of uumap a couple of days ago

http://shanghai.uumap.com/#

Very handy!

by **yu888** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 3:45 pm

yeah its always been a good chinese map but i am glad they've done a bit of work on the english version

by **CaptainCook** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 4:33 pm

They have done quite a bit of update. I can zoom all the way in and still have the street names. I can also type the street name in pingyin and they will mark it on the map..... hugh improvement and great help for me.... especially when people just rattle out a name and expect you to know which district it belongs to.... :roll:

Maps not only for shanghai (all streets), but also for other cities in China

by **foreverinchina** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 1:16 pm

On this way you can use the whole screen to search the map:
http://www.uumap.com/engine

Try also this one if you are searching for a particular service:
http://local.jongo.com/index.do
Just type the keyword of the service you are looking for, ie
Perfume, Bar, Supermarket, Toys,...
And you get a list of addresses in pingyin and chinese characters with the position on the map

by **canuckian** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 10:37 pm

bah... can't read chinese! any chance I can get the new map in alphabets or pin yin?

by **foreverinchina** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 5:34 am

at the top left side, there is a button to toggle between Chinese / English
The last two zoom levels are in Chinese only

by **jojo33** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 7:10 am

Last week I was a bit bored so I set this one up
http://www.smartnamecard.com/Pages/map.aspx?OrgID=199
Try dragging and zooming... No street names though...
