A crowded downtown street with lots of shopping malls, department and small stores, plenty of restaurants, and hotels... in a nutshell: all chinese and a tourist want in a single street.
The street crosses downtown Shanghai, linking People's Square, where the government buildings are, to the Bund by the Huangpu river. Leave a Comment Address: Downtown Shanghai.

The pedestrianised section of Nanjing East Road (or Nan Jing Dong Lu), running from People's Park in the west to The Bund in the east, was the premier shopping street of the whole of China in the 1930s. It has probably lost this crown now, but the shops are still there, the neon lights are still on, and the shoppers are still coming. The best time to visit is after dark - even if you don't buy anything, it's good for a walk and people-watching. There are a couple of interesting shops selling countless varieties of tea, and Gou Bu Li is a good place to take away some buns/dumplings for supper!

Nanjing Road is a walking street that is always packed with people waching other people. For those who'd rather not fight their way through the crowd, there are small motorized trolleys that will slowly take you from one end of Nanjing Rd. to the other, allowing you to avoid the bustling crowd.
Early in the morning, Nanjing Rd. is filled with many small groups of 10 to 30 people doing T'ai Chi. Join in if you'd like a good way to start your morning.
During the late morning and afternoons, people are shopping, eating or sipping and one of the many establishments that line both sides of the street.
And, at night, the street lights up like the Las Vegas Strip (see photo), where you will see more neon per sqaure meter than you have ever see before.
Unless you like really, really crowded areas, stay away from Nanjing Rd. on weekend nights or Saturday and Sundays, when the place is the most jammed. Leave a Comment Directions: Nanjing Rd. - Pu Xi

Every night, thousands of people are congested on the strip of pedestrian road that is the Nanjing Dong Lu. Locals and tourists alike, a walk on this infamous road at night has long been a hands-on study about capitalism in this Communist nation.
Since the rapid development of other commercial districts, namely Huaihai Lu and Xujiahui, Nanjing Lu has lost much of its prestige. Nowadays, it seems to be content to be a causal destination for all families to stroll along and buy an ice cream from the numerous McDonald's that have been sprawling like wild fungi.
Nanjing Lu, like most other high-end shopping malls, is a display of expensive shops most locals do not dare to enter, and a habitat for an unreasonable amount of fast food chain to satisfy the typically-low-income's hunger. Leave a Comment

Nanjing Road is fascinating during the day and night. It's the place that everyone seems to like because it's always packed. And when I say packed, then I mean PACKED :) I have never seen so many people shopping at once. Hehee! Nanjing Road runs all the way from the Bund to the People's Park, so if you enjoy shopping in busy places, you can plan on spending quite some time over there :) Leave a Comment Address: Nanjing LuDirections: Close to the Bund, in the center of Shanghai

Some people say this is the most important shopping street in all of China. It's certainly the main street in Shanghai. If you like crowded department stores, this is the place for you.
It runs, from west to east, across the heart of the city, all the way from People's Park down to the Bund. Leave a Comment Address: Nanjing LuDirections: The centre of Shangahi.

Shown here, the many neon signs of Shanghai's famous pedestrian street, Nanjing Lu... This is where lots of people like to congregate at night, especially young people... There are lots of shops, but mostly of the downscale variety, similar to what you would find along Istiklal Caddesi in Istanbul or around Ben Yehuda Mall in Jerusalem... Leave a Comment

Old Cliffie first visited China nearly 30 years ago. It was routinely dark and drab in those days, but modern China – especially the big cities – is a kaleidoscope of lights and colour. On his first evening in Shanghai old Cliffie strolled along Nanjing Road, the city's pedestrian shopping street which runs westward from the Bund. Lights, colour – and even some action when two policemen intervened to separate a couple of brawling drunks.

The 5.5-km long Nanjing Road is the most bustling and prosperous street in Shanghai . It was first built in 1851.
Hundreds of big stores and famous shops were opened one after another. The colourful and brightly litted Nanjing Road became the most bustling commercial street in Shanghai and in the whole country. Nanjing Road has become the centre of Shanghai’s busy downtown.
You will find hundreds of modernised shops, famous old-brand stores and special product shops. It has become the largest collecting and distributing centre of retail goods and an information centre.
At night, lights glitter in blazing colours, especially at weekends, it becomes a pedestrian walkway for shopping and sightseeing. Leave a Comment Address: Nanjing Road

This is the place to be to really feel the vibe of Shanghai. Mingle with the throng of people flowing here day and night. Hunt for snacks along the road. Shop among the stores and boutiques. Admire the many uniquely designed architecture. Marvel at the neon lights at night. It is a good 30-45 minutes walk at the start of the Renmin Guangchang Station all the way to The Bund. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the Line 2 train line and stop and step out at Renmin Guangchang (Peoples' Square) Station. Nanjing Road is just there.
