Nanjing Road
Nanjing Lu, long the hub of modern Shanghai’s shopping and business, is always mentioned in travel guides as a must see. While there are certain parts of Nanjing Road that I agree should not be missed, other parts can definitely be skipped. Here are some things you should not miss. Given an entire free day, a great idea is to start at the Bund and walk the entire length of Nanjing Road, ending at the Jing An Temple (about 3 km walk in total).
1. Starting at the Bund and walking west will lead you to People’s Square ( Renmin Guangchang), home to the Shanghai Museum and the Urban Planning Museum. The Shanghai Museum is fantastic, don’t miss it If you have enough time. However, I actually prefer the Urban Planning Museum, another treat definitive of life in Shanghai. This museum can be covered relatively quickly, and the miniature reproduction of the entire city is simply amazing. A model of the city both today and how it will look in 2010, the exhibition is breathtaking.

Yes,Nanjing Road is as must to go place in Shanghai.
A wonderful place for shopaholic.
Nanjing Road, have over thousands of shops there, you probably could spend a whole day for shopping if you are a shopaholic. At least i am.
Big stores, small shops everywhere, not only for clothes, but also for coffees, restaurants, at night, bars also.
Welcome to Nanjing Road, Shanghai. Have a good trip here.
Busiest road ever.
I went to Nanjing road many times, and every time either for shopping or just for hang out with friends, but no matter when i came here, always crowed, every single place you will see people taking photos, shopping like they never shopping before.
But one thing is quite annoying is the guys who trying to sell the fake DVDs, watches and bags to us, sometimes they even will grab you which is scary, i really don't like these.
