The Nanjing Road located in Shanghai is one of the world's busiest shopping streets in the world (Yay Girls!). Near the Road is the Bund, a riverfront area famous for its view. This Road is also highlighted for tourist attractions and holidays such as celebrations for the Chinese New Year, the Spring Break (March Break), New Year's Eve, Christmas, and Easter. Some parts of the buildings and shopping centers also host a fireworks show over the main isle of the street. Although the Nanjing Road is popular for shopping, it is also known for its con artists who try to rip off tourists. Many times they focus on more inappropriate services for men and women. Often times, if you ask to take their picture they will leave you alone. They also stray from large groups.
The bustling Nanjing Road spans over 5.5 kilometers east to west. On both sides of the road are more than 600 shops and shopping centres carrying high quality, brand goods. The eastern part of the road is pedestrian-only with various attractions as well as its shops. Once the premier shopping street, it has been recently eclipsed by Huai Hai Road. Nevertheless, it attracts many people. Transportation is convenient as visitors can catch the metro at various points along the road. Filled with stores, art galleries and restaurants, this internationally known street is bound to fill up those already full suitcases.
