New Signs On The Shanghai Tube

Not content with adding new tube lines at an alarming rate, Shanghai is also giving all the “old” stations a face lift by building a “new” layer of clean walls over the “old” layer of dirty walls. Literally a new skin buttressed off the old walls. So we’ll look spiffy for the Expo! The new face comes with new signs like the above which, in its infinite wisdom, says “For Safety, Please Accept the Security Check. Thank You.” Apparently they didn’t get the memo re: sign chinglish.

BTW: The coolest Shanghai tube map is at ExploreShanghai.
