Nanjing Lu

Nanjing Road (Chinese: 南京路; pinyin: Nánjīng Lù; Shanghainese: Nuecin Lu) is the

main shopping street of Shanghai, and is one of the world's busiest shopping streets.

The street is named after the city of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province neighbouring

Shanghai. 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, today's Nanjing Road East, which is largely pedestrianised. Before

the adoption of the pinyin romanisation in the 1950s, its name was rendered as

Nanking Road in English.

Nice light and colours to this image, well seen and presented.
