Nanjing Road, Commercial pedestrian street in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China

Nanjing Road spans 5.5 kilometers from the Bund to Jing'an Temple, featuring over 600 retail establishments, international brands, and department stores.

Established in 1845 as Park Lane, the street transformed from a simple road into Shanghai's primary retail destination through multiple development phases.

The street reflects Shanghai's evolution with a mix of time-honored local shops selling silk, jade, and traditional crafts alongside modern international retailers.

Visitors can access the street via Metro Lines 1, 2, and 8 at People's Square station, with the pedestrian section operating from early morning until late night.

The Dangdang sightseeing tram runs along the street from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM, offering rides through the retail district for 5 yuan.

One of the main streets in the city of Shanghai that leads down to the Bund. All the shop signs are present, and many malls attract locals and passing tourists. A street branches off perpendicular to Nanjing Road, where you will discover the most unusual dishes you have ever seen!
