In their own words: “Shopping on Nanjing Road”

Experience the vibrant energy of Nanjing Road in the evening, when the street comes alive with lights, shoppers, and diverse food options.
In their own words: “And now we're walking through Nanjing Road like a Times Square here in Shanghai. Now you can actually walk Nanjing Road all the way down to the Bund. So Nanjing Road is going to be lots of shopping, restaurants, and crazy vibes. I would say it comes to life after about 3:00 p.m., but it keeps getting better as it goes into the evening... It's one of the world's busiest shopping streets. It gets over a million visitors per day, comparable to places like Times Square or Oxford Street in London.”

Explore the underground food markets for a variety of local snacks and budget-friendly options, and enjoy the vibrant street life.
In their own words: “I just found out that this isn't actually the old town. This is the Naning Road. I think this place uh is very focused on tourists, especially uh Chinese tourists. I like these kind of stalls. Very creative. Very inviting.”
