Nanjing Road

Nanjing Road is the main shopping street of Shanghai. It is named after an old capital city of Nanjing. It is one of the world's busiest shopping destinations, known to attract more than a million visitors daily. The Nanjing street is divided into two sections—the Nanjing West and the Nanjing East. The five-and-a-half kilometre of street starts at The Bund in the east and ends in the west at the junction of Jing'an Temple. Earlier known as ‘Parker Lane’, Nanjing Road has witnessed the history of over 100 years. The eastern end of the street is a pedestrian zone covering the ‘Golden Belt’, with distinctly designed 37 manhole covers and three sculptures. Besides the shopping malls and international well-known brand stores, you can find restaurants, cafe, traditional shops and souvenir shops on Nanjing Road. Take a stroll on this buzzing street and feel the pulse of Shanghai. Some of the highlights on Nanjing Street include traditional restaurants of Lao Da Fang, Shao Wan Sheng and a Chinese medicine shop of Cai Tong De. Savour smoked fish and fresh pork moon cakes at Lao Da Fang and unwind with a glass of Yanjing Beer.
