Source-derived summary

Dongchengyi Road (simplified Chinese: 东城一路; traditional Chinese: 東城一路; pinyin: Dōngchéngyī Lù) is a station on the Pujiang line of the Shanghai Metro. The station is located at the intersection of Sanlu Highway and Dongchengyi Road, between Puhang Road and Huizhen Road, the southern terminus of the line. It began passenger trial operations with the rest of the Pujiang line on March 31, 2018.

History

This station opened for passenger operations on March 31, 2018, concurrent with the opening of the rest of the Pujiang line.

Description

The station is located at the intersection of Sanlu Highway and Dongchengyi Road, in the Minhang District of Shanghai. The station structure is elevated, with its platforms located one level above the street. The platform level consists of two side platforms. There are two separate concourses, which each allow access to one side platform only. In order to travel between the platforms, passengers must exit the fare-paid area, descend to street level, cross the street, and re-ascend on the other side. Washrooms are available at street level, outside the fare-paid area, on the east side of the street.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as metro station in Shanghai, China. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15898214. Authority coordinates are 31.033, 121.528. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
