A dozen ways to die in Shanghai
Thanks to Danwei, I came across this map, titled “A dozen ways to die in Shanghai,” featuring the city’s most prominent suicide spots:
They provide the following english translation:
Huichunji pharmacy sells sleeping pills.
Suzhou rivier is uncovered.
The #57 bus goes directly to the zoo. You can jump into a tiger’s mouth and die.
The Kerry Center is 32 stories tall. Jumping off is 100% successful.
A manhole cover has been stolen - jump into the sewer and drown.
Cars under the Yan’an Road viaduct drive very fast. Accidents happen often.
Changshou Road subway station - lie on the tracks.
Fuxing Park - hanging yourself is simple among the tall, close trees.
Barber stand at 1324 alley - steal a razor and cut your throat.
High-voltage power lines - with 20,000 volts, electrocution is convenient.
Wang’s Tofu Stand - crush yourself with a piece of tofu.
Dafa Gardens construction site - there’s always something falling.
Filling station - death by self-immolation.
Free and Easy Sauna - death by suffocation.
