Practical guide

Shanghai Metro Daduhui: use the QR route with Alipay or WeChat

Set up the transport QR code before you need to pass the gate.

Shanghai’s municipal transport guide identifies Metro Daduhui as Shanghai Shentong Metro Group’s QR-code payment app. It says travelers with Alipay or WeChat can download the app or access the Shanghai Metro service through either platform, then enter, exit and transfer by scanning a QR code. Confirm the live app prompts and eligibility before travel.

A clear next step

  1. Set up Metro Daduhui or the Shanghai Metro service in Alipay or WeChat before reaching the gate.
  2. Follow the current QR-code activation prompts.
  3. Scan at gates for entry, exit and transfers where supported.
