Waihuanlu station

Waihuanlu, literally Outer Ring Road, is a station on Line 1 of the Shanghai Metro. This station is part of the southern extension of that line that opened on 28 December 1996, and is located near the crossing of two major elevated highways. This makes the station often used by travelers to and from the southern outskirts of the city.



Exit list
Waihuanlu station is unlike other stations on the Shanghai Metro since it has north and south exits, which serve various purposes. Two main exits, from north and south of the station, give Fujin Road(Downtown) passengers access to an underground passageway. Two smaller exits serve the Fujin Road platform from the passageway. They are the No. 1 and 2 South Exits and are both open during peak hours to accommodate the high volume of commuters using the line. The No. 2 North Exit is the only area to access the Xinzhuang-bound train. However, it connects passengers directly to the platform without going underground.
