The most Outstanding Metro Station in Shanghai.

#travelanywhere Yuyuan Metro Station on Line 14 is one of the most beautiful metro stations in Shanghai. Opened in 2022 and designed by Xing Design, the station is rich with cultural elements. For example, the curved water-wave ceiling creates the illusion of the Huangpu River flowing above the metro line. These "waves" lap onto the columns, creating a rhythmic pulsation and an arcade. The curvature of the "wave tips" is inspired by the Chinese eaves of the nearby City God Temple, subtly echoing multiple cultural elements of the site. The design is incredibly clever. The water-wave ceiling is made of tens of thousands of aluminum panels that are cut, bent, and spliced together. This ceiling system is combined with lighting to form a large, three-dimensional LED canopy that can display various light effects. It can even change lighting performances for different holidays, such as China-Red for National Day and the Spring Festival, or pink and flower petals for Valentine’s Day. If you visit Shanghai, don’t miss the chance to see this stunning metro station! #shanghai #china #shanghailife #shanghaimetro #yuyuangarden
