Nanjing Road

Nanjing Road, known as "China's premier shopping street", runs from the Bund in the east to West Yan'an Road in the west for total of 5.5 kilometers; divided into two parts east and west by Xizang Road. In the past, it has a glamorous name of "Ten Miles Westerner Street", today people called it "Number One Commercial Street in China".

Couple hundred years ago, Nanjing Road was just a field. After the Opium War (1839-1842) Shanghai became a treaty port. Since then, many companies opened for business here. Soon afterwards, a large quantity of imported goods gushed and various shops sprang up. Today Nanjing Road is a must-

see metropolitan destination attracting thousands of fashion-seeking shoppers from all over the world.

Today over 600 businesses on Nanjing road offer countless famous brands, superior quality, and new fashions. KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and other world-famous food vendors line both sides of the street. Upscale stores include Tiffany,Mont Blanc, and Dunhill. In addition, approximately a hundred traditional stores and specialty shops still provide choice silk goods, jade, embroidery, wool, and clocks.

The Nanjing road is honored as colorful belt-- "elegant in the east, sophisticated in the middle, and stylish towards the west".
