The northern extension of Shanghai Metro Line 7 will open for trial operation on December 28th. This is great news if you live in Baoshan District, as you can now go shopping in Jing’an Temple then catch the last metro home 🙂 The new terminus will be at Meilan Lake.

Unfortunately not all the intermediate stations will be opening on December 28th: see the route map above. Also, trains on the northern extension will only be once every 15 minutes, compared to every 5 minutes on the main line as far as Shanghai University.

Of course, we’ll have an update to our online Shanghai Metro map and iPhone app available soon!
