What an atmosphere!! Nanjing Road is the biggest and most famous shopping district in Shanghai. It is not only a shopping area, but it is an iconic historical footprint of the British concession era. The road was the first and main access to link between the port (The Bund) and the British settlement. Today, The road is around 6km and it is divided into Eastern Nanjing and Western Nanjing. The east part starts from the bund to the People’s Square. This part of the district is considered as the original old Nanjing road, where you can find stores and buildings with more than 150 years history. Currently, some of these buildings are occupied by department stores international or local restaurants and hotels. Walking in the eastern Nanjing is always fun, where you can go shopping, eating and getting lost in the crowd taking selfies. You can also enjoy riding the mini train which will take you from one end to another. It is around 10 minutes ride in one direction. It is even more fun and exciting walking around at night when the area gets more crowded and you can take nice picture of the crowded road with the neon stores signboards

A place I would always remember the glittering Shanghai. Old hotels and night clubs used to adorn the pedestrian mall. Modern China was marked by a huge Coke bottle and on another side by a smiling Chinese joker who is all smile, a caricature by one famous artist perhaps self-ridiculing and depreciating. Pick pockets, swindlers and touts swarm this pedestrian mall with many plain clothes police looking out for the tourists to ensure they do not tarnish the good name of the cities. Many retails and restaurant can situate many floors above the ground level, signboards and neon lights, synchronize to the rhythms of the night and the march of the many shoppers. It is a place to watch the world goes by and ponder how amazingly China has leap beyond many countries and race beyond the first world. Cashless society is one reality here, sci-fi world, robots, human laugh and pounce carrying shopping bags hurried pass each other. It is better than watching movies.

(MOSTLY) PEDESTRIAN WALK ALONG MAIN SHOPPING STRIP ON NANJING ROAD If you don't like crowds you should definitely avoid this street on weekends and at peak afternoon as its very very crowded. Its unusual in being mostly pedestrian only (plus motorbikes plus tourist train) but be careful because there are cross streets that carry traffic and that aren't obvious until you are in the middle of the intersection staring down a bus!! All the global stores are here (H&M, Uniqlo, Garmin, Apple, Samsung, KFC, McDonalds etc) so you could be walking down a street in pretty much any big city. Lots of eating options on this strip (beyond KFC and McDs!!) but its also worth walking along a parallel street where the scene changes very dramatically to a more typical Chinese feel. One weekends there are often folk dancing exhibitions. If you are a Westerner be prepared to be hassled (not badly) by locals selling fake "Rolex" watches!

Great attraction for both visitors and locals. This is an absolutely beautiful street of shops and cafés as well as hotels. You could spend several days going into all of the shops without repeating. It is very safe and well lit at night. I would recommend going both during the day and at night for different experiences worth doing twice. The East end is anchored by the Bund and Fairmont Peace hotel and the West end is anchored by the Le Royale People’s Park and Meridian Marriott. both hotels make good landmarks while you’re touring the city. Several of the hotels have rooftop bars that are open to the public. Do yourself a favor and head down a few of the alleys for additional shops and more authentic experiences. While it is beautiful it’s quite obvious that the storefronts are a thin veneer as either side of the street quickly becomes less polished. I would recommend to a friend.

Nanjing pedestrian street in the evening is an absolute delight! As one of Nanjing's most popular shopping destinations, this bustling street offers a dynamic blend of culture, commerce, and charm. Stretching for kilometers from the Bund to the People's Park, its length ensures there's always something new to discover along its vibrant path. The illuminated atmosphere, adorned with colorful lights and animated by the lively crowd, creates an unforgettable experience. With a diverse range of shops offering everything from fashion to souvenirs, Nanjing pedestrian street is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll and some retail therapy. Whether you're a visitor or a local, I highly recommend experiencing the magic of Nanjing pedestrian street for an enjoyable evening out in the city!

A very busy & vibrant commercial shopping street, eastern part from the Bund to Peoples square was more crowded with a pedestrian street for walking where traffic was not allowed. Both side of the street were full of classical European big buildings along with modern large buildings. A lot of malls selling Chinese as well as western branded goods were there. Monte Blanc, Dunhill, Omega, US Polo etc. Some crowded shops were selling Chinese confectionaries & moon cakes. Restaurants selling western as well Chinese dishes were drawing a lot of people. A small tram was available to ride on the busy street. Nanjing dong lu metro station was just at the side of the street. Historically the road ran through the British concession is must visit place of nowadays Shanghai.
