Shaoxing metro and luggage storage

Question

Does anyone know if the metro station in Shaoxing has opened at the north station yet? And is there luggage storage in the station? Thanks!

Answer

Here are the answers I found regarding the metro in Shaoxing and the question of luggage storage:

Metro status at Shaoxing North station:

The first main line of the Shaoxing Metro (Line 1) opened in June 2021, and the remaining section was completed in April 2022.
A branch line extension that will connect the metro directly to Shaoxing North Railway Station (also called Shaoxing Bei) is scheduled to open on 30 June 2025.
Therefore, as of now (2025) the metro connection *to* Shaoxing North station may not yet be fully operational, or only partially. If you plan to arrive or depart via Shaoxing North Railway Station, you should confirm whether the metro access from the station is available on your travel day.

Luggage storage at the station or metro:

One traveler report states there is a “self-service luggage storage facility at the station” in Shaoxing North—“You need to enter the departure hall to use it (no ticket needed to enter but …)”.
The report is anecdotal and does not give full details on capacity, pricing or how large the facility is. Therefore, while luggage storage seems available, you should not rely on it being large or fully serviced.

Summary advice for you:

If you plan to use the metro at Shaoxing North station, check for updates close to your travel date to ensure the metro connection is running.
If you arrive at Shaoxing North and want to store luggage: yes, there appears to be some storage, but you should plan as if only minimal service is available—have a backup plan.
Arriving with large suitcases? Consider storing them at a local luggage storage service or at your hotel if check-in is possible, rather than relying solely on the metro station lockers.
