It seems to be a pedestrian mall but there ARE vehicles crossing everywhere. The road is basically all about shopping malls, and restaurants interspersed along the way. Notice how LONG the road is .... can't even see the end of the road. Yes we walked the length of the road. Went in a few shops just to look at clothes. Didn't buy anything. We walked all the way towards People's Square. We didn't go to the square, we went towards West Nanjing Road instead.
This is West Nanjing Road.We decided not to go on anymore as we were not interested in shopping. So we went to a Metro station (subway train) and took the train from West Nanjing area to a place I have no idea what it is called but it is the building below, I think :
Or a building that looks like it. We went inside and went up to a place called Food Republic to have our dinner. had my first Xiao Loong Pao. Then we went off back to LM's apartment by Metro train again. That marked my first full day in Shanghai.
A few observations about the apartment :
1. there is central a/c and heater.
2. there is a radiator/heater in the bathroom - woohoo. Warm towel!
Need to think about these when we go hunting next time. ;-)
Day 1 ended on a tired note. I think I walked at least 2-3 km in that one evening. Good experience though.
