Several people have noticed the fun loading messages which appear while our metro maps for Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou are loading.
To celebrate the festive season, we’ve written some new loading messages with the theme “Christmas with Chinese characteristics”. Check it out on one of our maps: SH BJ GZ.
Every station on the Shanghai Metro, Beijing Subway and Guangzhou Metro have their own page on ExploreShanghai’s Metropedia, ExploreBeijing’s Subwaypedia and ExploreGuangzhou’s Metropedia.
Now these pages are more colourful and interesting with the addition of local photos! Powered by Panoramia.com, you can now see photos taken in the geographical area around each metro station.
Examples:
We’re proud to announce the launch of exploregz.com, an interactive metro map of Guangzhou. Based on the same technology as exploreshanghai.com and explorebj.com, all your favourite features are there, including English and Chinese versions, route-planning with times and prices for tickets and a Metropedia with information on every station.
Have fun exploring a new city! Explore Guangzhou is still in “beta”, so if you have any feedback, please feel free to comment on this blog, or via our contact us page.
You may have noticed that this blog has moved to exploremetro.com - this is a new site which will act as a central hub for information about all of our metro and subway maps. All old links and RSS subscriptions should continue to work fine.
If you like using the ExploreShanghai metro map you’ll be pleased to know that new metro maps for Beijing and Guangzhou are in the works.
You can expect all the features from the Shanghai metro map, including a comprehensive route planner, station names in English and Chinese and pronounciations of all stations
The Beijing Subway map will be available later this year at explorebj.com
The Guangzhou Metro map will be available at exploregz.com
