Nanjing Road is the main shopping road in Shanghai, China. The road comprises two sections: Nanjing East Road starts at the Bund and ends near People's Park. From there it is known as Nanjing West Road.

Perhaps the most famous department store in Shanghai is the Shanghai No. 1 Department Store, formerly known as the Sun Department Store. It is ten storeys tall, and is Shanghai's answer to Bloomingdale's and Harrods.

Nanjing West Road was formerly known as the Bubbling Well Road. The name refers to a well in the Jing'an Temple. It is a more upscale part of Shanghai and is less crowded than the East Road. Among the major developments here include Pacific Hotel, Shanghai Center, Portman Ritz-Carlton, and the Shanghai Exhibition Center.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
