If you are searching for the big brands, you will find them all in this street. But if you want to get a glimpse of "old" / original Shanghai, you need to leave Nanjing Lu and dive into the small streets. More

Nanjing road is like the Times Square of Shanghai, you simply must go see and experience. If you can go in daytime and nighttime all the better. I personally like to stop at a coffee shop and people watch for a while. More

A main street of Shanghai. You'll find lots of stores here for foreign brands. This road will eventually take you to East Nanjing Road which will inevitably send you to the Bund. It's a 1.5 hour walk and a great place to see the "sights" of the city of Shanghai. More
