Nanjing Road (East) (Shanghai Metro)

Nanjing Road (East) (Shanghai Metro)

East Nanjing Road (zh-cp|c=南京东路|p=Nánjīng Dōng Lù) is the name of a station on Shanghai Metro Line 2. It is located at the intersection of Nanjing Road (E.) and Henan Road (M.) in the city center of Shanghai.

Until October 2006, it was known as "Middle Henan Road" station. The name was changed according to the new convention to name metro stations after famous streets or sights nearby rather than the vertical street neighbouring the station, making it easier for visitors to find these places.
