Shanghai Metro; Amazing Wuzhong Road Station. This was filmed by Tim Chambers. Watch the full journey and explore the filming details and destinations on this page.

Join me as I specifically visit the fantastically styled Wuzhong Road Station on line 15 of the Shanghai Metro System. Wuzhong Road (simplified Chinese: 吴中路; traditional Chinese: 吳中路; pinyin: Wúzhōng Lù) is a metro station on the Line 15 of the Shanghai Metro. Located south of the intersection of Guilin Road and Wuzhong Road in Minhang District, Shanghai, the station was scheduled to open with the rest of Line 15 by the end of 2020. However, the station eventually opened on 23 January 2021 following a one-month postponement. The station is located in between Yaohong Road to the north and Guilin Road to the south. This is the Only Station on Line 15 where there are lights in the ceiling and the sign is white instead of black.
