Shanghai - Metro Line 3

A northbound train arriving at Hongkou Football Stadium Station (虹口足球场站).

Shanghai Metro Line 3 (上海地铁3号线), also known as "Pearl Line" (明珠线) runs 99% above ground, at times (like here) pretty high above (99% - the penultimate station before the northern terminal is below ground).

In the distance, on the Pudong side, one can see the Shanghai Center (上海中心大厦) aka Shanghai Tower still under construction.

 

Hongkou Football Stadium Station has no "ground" level, it begins at a height of about 3 floors above ground with two "mezzanine" levels, followed by the platform level above.

 

This belongs to series of hard disk finds, all these photos taken around Hongkou Stadium are from the same day back in 2014.

 

BTW, the location name "Zhabei" assigned by flick's crappy location database could not be wronger, Zhabei District way is further west.
