Shoppinggg !!!!! Amazing Nanjing Road !!!!
Nanjing Road was the first commercial road in Shanghai. In the early 20th century, there were only four department stores along this stretch. Today, it has become the number one place for shopping in the city. The money at work in the road has encouraged many companies and businesses over the years to set up bases near here. Nanjing Road is fantastically located, stemming off the Huangpu River and the Bund at a right angle and linking the city's main commercial and residential districts to the mouth of the river. The road to the east of Tibet Road is called Nanjing Dong Road while the road to the west is known as Nanjing Xi Road.
In the past few years, mammoth changes have taken place here. The street was beginning to look a little down at heel and Huaihai road was pulling the wealthier customers away from here. A huge improvement plan was put into action and completed just in time for Chinese New Year 2000.
New shopping centers have been erected and a large section of the street has been pedestrianised. There are also some first class hotels scattered along the road including the Peace Hotel, and the Portman. In the evenings, the street looks at its best, with neon lights and advertising billboards illuminating the glorious buildings along the road.
For ppl who loves shopping as, me this is very interesting part of Shanghai, i have never seen so many shopping malls and luxory shops, also you can find there fake markets, in the small streets, at one place. Really here, you can buy everything from whole world, whe you have enought money. I saw for the first time in my life shopping centre, which has 11 floors!!! I was like, wow..everything in Shanghai is so huge and high, and sometimes also price.
I visit shops, in Europe boutiques into which i never go in Prague, because its so fucking expensive that for my credit card is better to go around but here, im foreigner and they expect that i could buy something so its very nice feeling.
