West Yan'an Road (Chinese: 延安西路; pinyin: Yán'ān Xī Lù) is the name of an interchange station between Lines 3 and 4 on the Shanghai Metro network. The station is named after Yan'an Road, and opened on 26 December 2000 as part of the initial section of Line 3 from Shanghai South Railway Station to Jiangwan Town,[1][2] and Line 4 service began here on the final day of 2005.[3]
During the 2021 Shanghai People’s Congress deputies suggested to change the station name to Donghua University. “Names of Metro stations should give voice to the city’s cultural and historical landmarks, of which universities are surely a part,” said Wang Hongzhi, vice dean of the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Donghua University. “It should become a rule that Metro stations located near universities are named after the institutions.”[4]
