Nanjing Road, the " number one street" of China, has always been the main attraction
and shopping area in Shanghai. It is the busiest street in the city and probably the whole world--
it can be so crowded that you have to push your way through it during its peak hours.
Nanjing Road has been the center of Shanghai
since the beginning of 1900. At the moment ,
shops open between 10 am and 10 pm,seven
days a week,356 days a year.

People's Square was the site of Shanghai
Racecourse before the communist took over
and now it proudly displays the museum of
Shanghai.
Shanghai museum was built in 1994 and is
the symbolic of many changes in China. It's
shape resembles an ancient Chinese Ding
vessel and is the home of impressive collection
of art in China.

These are the pictures of the famous The Bund.
The Bund is an Anglo-Indian term for the embarkment of muddy waterfront. And it is the symbolic of Shanghai like the opera house in Sydney.

It is a boulevard of 1.5 Km located on the West Bank of Huang Pu Jiang, the exit of the second longest river in China -- Yangzi river.

The Bund was the political and trading center of Shanghai in early1900s. Lots of Europeans know it as the Wall Street of China back then. When you walk along the bond, you can come across the old sites of some big international companies such as City Bank,Jardin Matheson&Company, Hongkong and Shanghai Bank as well as a few old european clubs. Jarcin and Matheson&Company was set up in 1848 and it now grew into one of the great business firm and owns just about half of Hongkong. Due to the above reason, different types of buildings were constructed along the Bund and it is known as the miniature of " Museum of international architecture".
