The transportation hub near Shanghai Station of Shanghai Metro.

Shanghai stands at Moling Road, Zhabei District, Shanghai. Established in 1908 and completed in 1909. At present, Shanghai Railway Station is built in 1987, which was reconstructed from the former Shanghai East Railway Station and belongs to Shanghai Railway Bureau. It is the railway station with the largest passenger flow in Shanghai. Shanghai residents usually call it the "new passenger station" to distinguish the old Shanghai Railway Station (namely the old North Station).

Shanghai Railway Station and Rail Transit 1, Line 3 and Line 4 are on the east side of the main station. It is an important "window" for Shanghai's super-large public transportation infrastructure and land transportation gateway.
