for many years, zhangjiang high-tech metro station was the terminate station for east bound shanghai metro line 2. it was a station on the ground. everyday, thousands of hi-tech workers were commuting to zhangjiang high-tech park in and out from it. it was very crowded during the rush hour. around the station, a gourmet food plaza was emerging, with all kinds of restaurants and small stands.
now everything is changed. the station was abandoned officially after the chinese new year. the metro line 2 is heading all the way to the pudong airport. a new underground station was opened in another location. i am sure those restaurants will run out of business very soon, since most of the customers are passengers.
it is a showcase of shortsighted city planning. to make it even more ironic, crowded commuters are now facing big problems in new station. it was designed by a dumb ass, with a humiliating super narrow passageway.
