National Exhibition and Convention Center station

Line 2 On 16 March 2010, Line 2's Xujing East Station commenced operations. In November 2019, Exits 4 and 5 of the station resumed operation following the completion of the National Exhibition and Convention Centre. Located within it, these exits provide the most convenient access to the West Arrival Hall. From 23 January to 2 February 2020, service between Xujing East Station and Songhong Road Station on Line 2 were suspended due to tunnel refurbishment works in both directions. On 1 April 2022, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control measures, the station suspended services, until 4 July, when operations resumed. From 22 to 27 January 2023, services at Xujing East Station and Songhong Road Station were suspended due to construction works between the two stations.。 Line 17 The Line 17 station opened for passenger trials on 30 December 2017, alongside the rest of the first section of the line. During the planning and construction stages, the station was named China Exposition North (), because it is located north of the National Convention and Exhibition Center. == Station description ==

On Line 2, the first train is at 05:30, and the last train is at 23:30. The ride from here to Pudong Airport takes approximately 90 minutes. Although both the Line 2 and the Line 17 station have the same name and are officially considered one station, they are not treated as one when calculating transfer fares. However, this will change with the opening of the Line 13 extension in 2026. Passengers wishing to transfer between Line 17 and Line 2 can transfer at , which is one stop to the east. The station itself is located in the eastern part of Qingpu District, beneath the Songze Elevated Road along Songze Avenue, between Zhuguang Road and Panxiu Road. The station is located very close to the boundary with Minhang District. The Line 17 station is known for its design elements. An long mural fills the entire length of the concourse. Although an underground station, sunshine flows easily to the platform level via a panoramic sunroof, which covers the entire ceiling. The single island platform is wide, and unlike other island platforms, there are no support columns along the middle of the platform. These columns were instead placed between the platform and the tracks, also serving as pilasters for the platform screen doors. Porcelain art pieces are on display between the platform screen doors. In July 2018 the Line 17 station won the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver prize, the most widely used green building rating system in the world, making it the first of all Metro stations in Asia to win the title. Exits This station has 11 exits. As the two lines that currently stop here have separate concourses, each exit leads to a single line. Exits 2-6, 8-9, and 13-14 (formerly East Xujing Station) lead to Line 2, while exits 15-16 (formerly exits 2 and 3 of Zhuguang Road Station) lead to Line 17. Originally, the Line 2 station had four additional exits, numbered 1, 2, 14 and 15. These were demolished after the construction of the National Exhibition and Convention Center and rebuilt as the current Exits 2 and 14. The accessible lift at the former exit 15 has been retained but is currently not open to the public. ; Line 2 • Exit 2: Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex, Commercial Plaza, Office Blocks B & C • Exit 3: Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex, Commercial Plaza, Office Blocks B & C • Exit 4: Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex, Office Block A • Exit 5: Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex, Office Block A • Exit 6: Zhuguang Road, East Xumin Road, Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex • Exit 8: East Xumin Road • Exit 9: East Xumin Road, Zhuguang Road • Exit 13: Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex, Commercial Plaza, Office Blocks B & C (not open) • Exit 14: Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center Complex, Commercial Plaza, Office Blocks B & C (not open) ; Line 17 • Exit 15: Zhuguang Road • Exit 16: Panxiu Road == Nearby landmarks ==
