Nanjing Road – The Biggest Shopping Street Of Shanghai

Nanjing Road was our last tourist spot in Shanghai also the last evening of our 8-days packaged travel to South Yangtze China. To refresh your memory (I know I have dragged the stories of the tour a bit too long… 🙁 ), this was part of the night excursion add-on package we paid 200 bucks extra to the original which did not cover any activities after dinner, such as the night cruise of HuangPu River, The night of Xihu show, GuanQian shopping pedestrian of Suzhou and also the FuZiMiao pedestrian precinct in Nanjing.

Nanjing Road(南京路) is the busiest, biggest and also the longest shopping street in the world. Measuring around 6KM long, Nanjing Road is currently covering 2 sections of the road, namely Nanjing Road East and Nanjing Road West. Originally it was only the east pedestrian precinct section in The Bund but now it stretches out to the west to People Square (人民广场).

Since it was our last night in China, we did serious shopping at the shopping street. Visitors from all over the world as well as the locals come here to do their shopping and people watching. International restaurant chains and local eateries could also be found along the street. Here are some of the photos I took with my Panasonic Lumix FZ28.

We had a great time there. Though exhausted after 7 days of rushing tour around the South Yangtze China, we were still able to shop for almost one and a half hour there and bought some souvenirs and gifts (extra over what we had bought in GuanQian Street).

Did we go back to our hotel after that? Not really! While we still had some energy, we requested our tour leader, Ah Mei to bring us to the ‘night spot’ of Shanghai, The XinTianDi (新天地). XinTianDi is Shanghai famous upmarket entertainment hub with exclusive dining and shopping outlets. It is situated at the alley in between ancient buildings of the city similar to what we have here in Bintang Walk of Kuala Lumpur. – Travel Feeder.
