How to say "Where is the nearest subway station?" in Chinese

The phrase is 最近的地铁站在哪里？ (zuìjìn de dìtiě zhàn zài nǎlǐ?). 最近 (zuìjìn) means 'nearest', 的 (de) is a possessive particle, 地铁站 (dìtiě zhàn) means 'subway station', 在 (zài) means 'at', and 哪里 (nǎlǐ) means 'where'. It asks 'The nearest subway station is at where?'

Use this when you need to locate the closest metro station. It is straightforward and works in any city. English speakers might say 'subway' instead of 'metro', but in China, '地铁' (dìtiě) covers both. No need to add 'please'—the question itself is polite.
