My readers, please be noted that Shanghai Metro is not 24 hour in service. I had a miserable night today.
I took Metro Line #1 from Xujiahui to Metro Line #4 station at Shanghai Stadium, only to find out Metro Line #4 is already closed. The last train leaves the platform at 22:16 (inner circle) and 23:14 (outer circle).
Do pay attention to it during your next visit.
Update Their Notices March 8, 2009
Now, at the direction board inside the metro stations, they have clear marks to remind people to pay attention to the end of service time of each metro lines.

I have a suite appartment next to Songjian University Town Metro station ready to rent out with rate of 2000RMB/month. It is a simple but morden appartment with big community.

Yeah, Shanghai will be really turned into a nightless city if we have 24 hour metros, looking forward to that day

Posted by: DC on July 8, 2008 10:45 AMI guess part of the problem is maintaining the railway lines. I assume this is done at night when the trains are not running. If trains run 24h a day it will be harder to carry out maintenance.
