The Yuyuan Station on Shanghai Metro Line 14 by XING DESIGN is located in the heart of the city, adjacent to the ChenghuangMiao (City God Temple) and the Bund. This area is a cultural landmark in Shanghai, which combines the East and West, historical and contemporary styles. Yuyuan Station serves not only as an important node for public transportation in the city but also as a gateway to the area and a starting point for tours.
The curved water-wave ceiling visualizes the illusion of Huangpu River above the metro line. These “waves” lap onto the columns, creating a rhythmic pulsation. If the Shanghai subway is the city’s arteries, then at Yuyuan one can feel the city’s pulse.
