If you are looking for lots of department stores carrying lots of name brand designer fashions, then you will want to check out Nanjing Road. If you aren't thrilled by giant crowds of people, and aren't looking for shopping, then there's really not much here for you. We walked most of it, but except for being under the neon lights,... more

I think I was expecting more from an iconic road of a world class city. From afar, it looks like it could be Times Square. But once there, you wonder... where are all the big brand names and fashion houses? The clothes don't look all that hot and look like something made by old ladies trying to imagine what a... more

If you enjoy neon lights and crowds of people, then Nanjing Road is for you. There is a constant energy in the air on this street and is the place to see and be seen in Shanghai. The stores are plentiful with a variety of merchandise, but it is not very cheap (compared to other parts of Shanghai I've been... more

We went down Nanjing road several times on our last visit to Shanghai in November 06. This is a must when visiting Shanghai. You are bound to get a bargin. Not many of the staff speak English in the shops but you can have some real fun with this, we had some good laughs using sign language and funny faces.... more

We have been to Shanghai three times and we visited Nanjing Lu three times. Most recently, we stayed at the Radisson New World, right at the center of the action. The intension to stay there was to ensure easy access to the Meseum, the Grand theatre and the Church, the subway station and local shops. But you are only a... more

I've been to Nanjing Road many times in several visits. It is particularly attractive all lit up at night like the Las Vegas Strip (although far smaller). There are a few interesting shops worth wandering into, but I do most of my shopping around Yuyuan Gardens and the Xiang Yang Market (flea market). It is definately worth seeing at night,... more

I had planned for a short, full day exploring the area around Nanjing Lu. We were back at the hotel by lunch. It is over-hyped in the travel books, I think. It is worth a walk down and back. You'll probably see some interesting stores and have a fast-food lunch. Stop at the People's Park. All of the stores sort... more
