Itinerary

Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road)
Pass by

Nanjing Road (Chinese: 南京路; pinyin: Nánjīng Lù; Shanghainese: Noecin Lu) is a road in Shanghai, the eastern part of which is the main shopping district of Shanghai. It is one of the world's busiest shopping streets, along with Fifth Avenue, Oxford Street, Orchard Road, Takeshita Street and the Champs-Élysées. The street is named after Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province and the former capital of the Republic of China. Today's Nanjing Road comprises two sections, Nanjing Road East and Nanjing Road West. In some contexts, "Nanjing Road" refers only to what was pre-1945 Nanjing Road, then rendered as Nanking Road in English. The former Nanking Road lay entirely within the Shanghai International Settlement. Today's Nanjing Road West was formerly Bubbling Well Road, an extra-settlement road built by concession authorities outside the concession proper. The two roads met on the northern edge of the Shanghai Race Club.

The Bund
Pass by

Located in Huangpu District, Shanghai, The Bund (Waitan) is a 1.5km historic riverside promenade on the west bank of the Huangpu River (north to Waibaidu Bridge, south to East Yan’an Road). Established after Shanghai opened as a treaty port in the mid-19th century, it once served as the financial and trade hub of the Far East. The 52 elegant buildings in Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical and Art Deco styles form the iconic "Gallery of World Architecture". Today, it offers stunning contrasts between classic architecture and the futuristic skyscrapers of Pudong, and is a free, all-day destination beloved by locals and tourists alike.

Lujiazui
Pass by

Lujiazui is a locality in Shanghai, a peninsula formed by a bend in the Huangpu River. Since the early 1990s, Lujiazui has been developed specifically as a new financial district of Shanghai. The decision to earmark Lujiazui for this purpose reflects its location: it is located on the east side of the Huangpu River in Pudong, and sits directly across the river from the old financial and business district of the Bund. Lujiazui is a national-level development zone designated by the government. In 2005, the State Council reaffirmed the positioning of the 31.78 km2 (12.27 sq mi) Lujiazui area as the only finance and trade zone among the 185 state-level development zones in mainland China.
