Xujiahui Station
Xujiahui (simplified Chinese: 徐家汇站; traditional Chinese: 徐家匯站; pinyin: Xújiāhuì Zhàn) is the name of an interchange station between Lines 1 and 9 of the Shanghai Metro. It is located in the Xujiahui area of Xuhui District, Shanghai.
The station is one of the busiest in the metro system, and is extremely crowded during peak hours. Six large shopping malls and eight large office towers are each within no more than a three-minute walk of one of the station's exits. Since the opening of Line 9 added four new exits to the north of the Grand Gateway mall, the station has a total of 18 exits. The station will also serve Line 11 when the line is completed in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
