What Wanxia actually is

Wanxia village, Wanxia Road and the wider station catchment are different starting points.

Older village / community

Public streets, local shops and an established community. Respect residential entrances.

Station catchment

Compare the actual apartment entrance, everyday errands and Metro walk.

River-mouth / bay outing

Zhongxin River Park and the bay need a separately checked final route.

Wanxia: your local route

Choose a starting focus and open a current map for the actual connection.

Dotted lines show a planning connection, not a surveyed path. Select a card’s Amap link for current streets, paths and directions. Check holiday-shuttle notices separately.

Before you head to the river or bay

Choose a current public walking or cycling route from your actual address. The bay is not at the Metro exit; check access, crossings and the return journey.

An April 2026 Transport Bureau notice describes a weekend/holiday shuttle from Wanxia Exit A toward Haiyiwan. It can be adjusted for construction and demand. Confirm current operation, stops, return service and posted fare before relying on it; it is not a daily-service guarantee.

Read the published shuttle notice

For step-free street access, the Metro operator lists Wanxia’s surface lift at Exit B. Exit A is the departure named in the shuttle notice; check current lift operation, signs and your own route separately.
