Nanjing Road, known as the No.1 Street in China, is one of the leading business centers in Shanghai. It is referred to be the miniature of the history and culture of Shanghai for a century.
From the Bund at the east end to Jing'an Temple at the west end, the street has a history of more than 100 years. It was originally named Yongquan, the spring in front of Jing'an Temple.
The 1033-metre-long "Pedestrian Walkway of Nanjing Road" houses the China's key commercial shops like Shanghai No.1 Department Store, Yong’an Commercial Building, Lao Feng Xiang Gold & Jewelry Shop, Maochang Optical Shop and Shanghai No.1 Medicine Shop. All these make Nanjing Road a thriving and fascinating commercial hub that attracts both local residents and visitors from at home and abroad.
Nanjing Road is such a famous place and I am local here, but first, let me get something straight. I will never go there, except for showing my friends around who are travelling in Shanghai. The reason is simple, everything in china close to "famous" means crowded. Not mention Nanjing Road is the key commercial place in Shanghai. Thousands of multinational corporations eagerly do business here. Millions of foreign tourists visit Nanjing Road every year. Go to a place like this I have to take a deep breath, I don’t feel natural and I can’t focus here, so I would rather stay at home and feel relaxed.
