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:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
