Shanghai’s RMB 10 Metro Umbrellas Go Viral During Plum Rain Season
Shanghai’s plum rain season is here, and sudden showers have been catching many commuters off guard.
According to local media reports, Shuangbai Road Station on Metro Line 15 has recently added an emergency umbrella sales point. Passengers can buy a folding umbrella for RMB 10 by scanning a QR code and taking one by themselves.
Station staff told local media that the service is still in a trial stage.
The idea quickly won support from commuters and netizens, especially during Shanghai’s rainy season, when the weather can change fast and a forgotten umbrella can ruin the day.
Some people praised the service as a timely help, while others urged Shanghai Metro to expand it to more stations. A related phrase, roughly meaning “Shanghai takes good care of me,” even appeared on social media trending lists.

Many users said the umbrellas were exactly the kind of small but practical service people need during plum rain season. Some also said the price felt reasonable, especially for an emergency folding umbrella at a metro station.
For now, the service appears to be available only at the trial location. But if it is rolled out more widely, it could become one of those small Shanghai conveniences that make daily life just a little easier — especially on rainy days.
