Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is about as touristy as tourist attractions come in Shanghai. Built up during the city’s colonial days, the street is now a major shopping and dining area that leads to the Bund. It is absolutely worth seeing for the neon lights alone, but be on guard against scammers and petty thieves. For RMB5 ($0.73), you can take a little train down the street, in case you want to take photos without a walking incident!
