Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Shanghai Shi, China
China’s premier shopping street, the 5.5-km-long Nanjing Road, starts at the Bund in the east and ends in the west at the junction of Jing’an Temple and West Yan’an Street. Today it is a must-see metropolitan destination attracting thousands of fashion-seeking shoppers from all over the world.
As a century-old shopping street in Shanghai, Nanjing Road was a witness of the city’s history. Over time, it has been restructured, undergoing significant changes. Big traditional stores no longer dominate the market since modern shopping malls, specialty stores, theaters, and international hotels have mushroomed on both sides of the street. For shopping convenience, its eastern end has an all-weather pedestrian arcade.
