We were in People's Park on a late Saturday afternoon and
decided to walk to The Bund where we had dinner reservations. Billed as
"the No.1 shopping street in China" we walked down the pedestrian
street of Nanjing Road which goes from Peoples Park to The Bund. Over a 1/2
mile in length it is the home of hundreds of department stores, fashion and
silk boutiques, and old shops offering
time-honored Chinese brands and specialty goods. It is considered the most
popular shopping area in Shanghai and attracts a million people every day! The
street is known for its historical architecture, the huge variety of
commodities and the brilliant neon light night scene.
This is a sax musician playing to a jazz recording on the
balcony of one of the department stores with people dancing below.
There is a tram car available for those wishing to ride the
length of the road. It reminded me of Wildwood board walk.
It was a beautiful Saturday evening, as we exited the
restaurant we found ourselves amongst the million Chinese. With the stunning
Shanghai skyline in the background.
