*Sorry, my friends. Recently I cannot open any blogs from www.blogger.com. I cannot open all the DP blogs, even mine too. But strange, I can post. So, I have to wait till the service from google is ok, then I could be back to check your nice photos and leave my sincere comments.*
Weekend is coming. So let’s go out for a walk !!!
This is the famous…famous…famouse walking street in Shanghai: Nan2 Jing1 Road.(link to wiki). The 6 Chinese characters you see on the photo are : 南京路步行街, in literally nan2jing1 (南京)= city’s name; lu4 (路) = road ; bu4xing2 (步行) = walking ; jie1 (街) = street . It is famous for the shopping stores and the crowded from all over the world.
If you once came to Shanghai before, or you are planning to come to Shanghai soon. I am sure that if you want to ask some suggestions from the local Shanghainese or the travel agents, they all would tell you to visti this walking street!!! Am I right??? 
And even in the early 20 century, it was already famous. There was a pop saying in China at that time: if you came to Shanghai, but you did not visit this “Nanjing Road“, it meant that you did not visit the city of Shanghai.

Maybe I am so afraid of the crowded places for I will lose myself there. Maybe if you are a little bit careless when you are walking there, the thief would follow you ASAP. So be careful when you enjoy your happy time there!! Another tip is when someone pulls you and tries to sell you some products, just BE CAREFUL!! Of course, the price is totally unreasonable.
(some backgroud here: the name of this road is named after the city of Nanjing which was famous in Chinese modern history because of the Treaty of the Nanjing. And it was also called “大马路”(da4 ma3 lu4) before 1949. In literally, da4= big , ma3 lu4 = road. Because at that time it was the broadest road in the International Settlement. oh, it seems that I begin to give you history lessons. more information in the future. ).
more information in the future. ).
