Nanjing Road
Why visit here?
<p>Nanjing Road is Shanghai's most iconic commercial artery, witnessing the city's century-long prosperity since its opening to foreign trade in the 19th century. This street, approximately 5.5 kilometers long, stretches from the Bund in the east to Jing'an Temple in the west, divided into Nanjing East Road and Nanjing West Road by Xizang Middle Road, connecting Shanghai's history and present.</p><p><p>Strolling along Nanjing East Road is like stepping into a flowing commercial history. It preserves numerous century-old brands such as Shao Wansheng and Shen Dacheng, whose signature products, like drunken crab and fresh meat mooncakes, remain vivid memories of Shanghai's flavors. Intersecting with Nanjing West Road, it showcases Shanghai's modern face—high-end shopping malls and international luxury brands line the street, forming a fashion landmark in sync with international trends.</p><p>Beyond commerce, Nanjing Road is also a cultural corridor. Classic buildings such as the Shanghai History Museum and the International Hotel quietly tell tales of the past; as night falls, neon signs illuminate the street, their lights reflecting off the buildings of the Bund and creating a unique urban nightscape for Shanghai. If you want to experience a more authentic local atmosphere, you might as well turn into the adjacent side street, where there are many snack stalls and unique shops loved by locals.</p></p>
