Shanghai Metro Line 3, also known as the Pearl Line (Mingzhu Line), is the third line in Shanghai to be put into operation since 2000. Its logo color is yellow. The line is 40.3 kilometers long, starting from Jiangyang North Road in Baoshan District and ending at Shanghai South Railway Station in Xuhui District. It has 29 stations and passes many scenic spots along the way, such as Zhongshan Park, Hongkou Football Stadium, and Lu Xun Memorial Hall.
Shanghai Metro Line 3 was constructed in two phases: Phase 1 (South Railway Station to Jiangwan Town) opened in December 2000, and Phase 2 (northern extension from Jiangwan Town to North Jiangyang Road) began operation in December 2006. Mostly elevated, it loops around the city center and shares some stations with Line 4. A future northern extension to Baosteel Group is planned.
