Huaihai Road Business Street is one of the most fashionable shopping areas in Shanghai, with flagship stores of numerous high-end and designer brands. You can find many uniquely designed and high-quality fashion products here, such as clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, etc. In addition, there are many high-end restaurants and cafes in the Huaihai Road commercial district, where you and your best friend can enjoy a luxurious dinner or afternoon tea.
Huaihai Road is a commercial street as famous as Nanjing Road Walkway, which is divided into three sections: Huaihai East Road, Huaihai West Road and Huaihai Middle Road. Among them, Huaihai Middle Road is bustling, with numerous department stores and the reputation of "Oriental Champs Elysees Street". Strolling on the neon lit streets at night, one can even feel the unique fashion atmosphere of the Magic City.
Unlike Nanjing Road Walkway, which symbolizes the commercial history of Shanghai, Huaihai Road Commercial Street is full of fashion and style. There are not only large department stores here, but also trendy and petty bourgeoisie brand clothing stores, as well as various specialty stores and restaurants and beverage stores. On Huaihai Road, you can enjoy shopping and delicious food to your heart's content. If you are tired from shopping, you can take a break in the green space in the street or go to see a movie.
The eastern section of Huaihai Middle Road (from Tibet South Road to Chongqing South Road) is home to many office buildings, as well as central commercial buildings such as Pacific Department Store Huaihai Branch, Times Square in Shanghai, Hong Kong Square, and Shanghai Square, as well as computer squares such as Broadway and Cyber. It is only four hundred meters from here to the People's Square in the north, and more than three hundred meters from here to the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xintiandi and other famous scenic spots in the south.
The department stores in the middle section of Huaihai Middle Road (from Shaanxi South Road to Chongqing South Road) are relatively concentrated, with fashion department stores such as Parkson, Paris Spring, 200 Yongxin, and Huating Isten, which can buy various popular products and brand clothing. In addition, there are shops such as Shanghai Women's Products Store, Ancient and Modern Bra Company, National Local Food Company, and many high-end brand specialty stores and flagship stores. So if you come for shopping, most of them are on this section of the road. You can take subway lines 1 and 10 to 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 areas and old western-style houses, as well as scenic buildings such as the Shanghai Library. Huaihai East Road is relatively short, but it connects Renmin Road. It is not very far to Chenghuang Temple Tourist Area, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
