Underground Haven Temporarily Shut
By: Ai Mei
For those heading to Shanghai and are looking forward to shopping at the underground shopping arcade which I recommended a while ago, brace yourself and don’t be too disheartened... It has been reported that the underground shopping havens have closed till the end of the Olympics.
"All stalls and businesses inside Metro stations will be shut for the Olympic Games because of public security. Shentong Metro Group, owner and operator of Shanghai's Metro, said it had decided to close them because of local government requirements to step up public security at stations.”
You must be wondering “How can that be? Olympics have already finished!” But don't forget that the Paralympics Games are just about to start. So for those of you who are planning to visit Shanghai this month, you might just want to consider delaying your trip for another month.
