Huaihai Road, located in the People's Square in the center of Shanghai, is one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Shanghai. Side by side with Nanjing Road, if Nanjing Road is a symbol of Shanghai's business, then Huaihai Road is more of a taste and a style.
Huaihai road introduction
Huaihai Road is a commercial street with the same name as Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. It is divided into three sections: Huaihai Road East, Huaihai Road West and Huaihai Road Middle. Among them, Huaihai Middle Road is prosperous, there are many department stores, and it has the reputation of "Oriental Champs Elysé es". Walking in the neon-lit streets at night, you can feel the unique fashion atmosphere of Magic Capital.
Unlike Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, which symbolizes Shanghai's commercial history, Huaihai Road Commercial Street is full of fashion and style. There are not only large department stores, but also fashionable petty bourgeoisie brand clothing stores, as well as various specialty stores, restaurants and beverage shops. On Huaihai Road, you can enjoy shopping and delicious food. If you are tired of shopping, you can take a nap in the green space on the street or go to the movies.
Famous scenic spot
There are many office buildings in the east section of Huaihai Middle Road (from Tibet South Road to Chongqing South Road), as well as medium-sized commercial buildings such as Pacific Department Store Huaihai Store, Shanghai Times Square, Hong Kong Plaza and Shanghai Plaza, as well as computer squares such as Bainaohui and Cyberspace. From here, it is only 400 meters to the People's Square in the north and more than 300 meters to the south, and you can reach a big meeting place, Xintiandi and other famous attractions.
There are many department stores in the middle section of Huaihai Middle Road (from Shaanxi South Road to Chongqing South Road), such as Parkson, Paris Spring, Biyongxin, Isetan in Hua Ting and other fashion department stores, where you can buy all kinds of popular goods and branded clothes. In addition, there are Shanghai women's products stores, ancient and modern bra companies, national local food companies and other stores, as well as many high-end brand stores and flagship stores. So if you are shopping, most of them are in this section. You can take the subway lines 1 and 10 and get off at Shaanxi South Road Station.
From the west section of Huaihai Middle Road (west of Shaanxi South Road) to Huaihai West Road, the commercial atmosphere gradually disappeared, replaced by many residential quarters and old houses, as well as Shanghai libraries and other attractions. Huaihai East Road is relatively short, but it connects Renmin Road. It's not too far from the tourist area of Chenghuang Temple. It will take about 15-20 minutes.
