点评:Sunday 17th May was the first occasion that we visited and walked this shopping street in Shanghai. We did return a few days later to continue our exploration and enjoyment of walking along this Street
This is main pedestrian shopping street in Shanghai it is approximately five and a half kilometres (3.4 miles) long. It stretches from Huangpu River, in the Bund, down to the People's Park. It is also referred to as the "Shopping Street" predominantly for Tourists.
Have absolutely no idea how long it took us to walk down the Street as we kept stopping, going in to shops, looking at the shop fronts, statues and anything else that caught our eye.
The top section is pedestrianised, 1.5 kilometres and is lined with high end brand name stores, clothing, jewellery, shoes, handbags, sportswear and more. There are also some Hotels along the street as well as Banks and ATM machines.
Walking further along the Street it takes on a different dynamic with different types of stores.
One of the many shops along the street was the famous White Rabbit sweet (candy) store selling their sweets, gifts and merchandise.
We were fascinated by the facias of some of the buildings with large perspex and plastic figures mounted on them.
Along the way there are a number of interesting statues Mother and Son shopping, Mother shopping with her baby. There is a plaque from the Shanghai Electric Company, commemorating the first street lamp lit in China on this Street.
On one occasion we travelled on the Shanghai Metro alighting at the Station on this street.
翻译:5月17日星期日,我们首次游览并漫步在上海的这条商业街上。几天后我们又再度前往,继续在这条街上漫步探索、享受其中。
这是上海最主要的步行商业街,全长约5.5公里(3.4英里)。它从外滩的黄浦江边一直延伸到人民公园。这条街也常被称为“购物街”,主要是为游客们准备的。我们完全不知道自己在这条街上走了多久——因为我们不断停下来,走进商店,欣赏店面的装潢、雕塑以及任何吸引我们眼球的东西。
这条街的上段为步行街,全长1.5公里,沿街遍布着各类高端品牌店,出售服装、珠宝、鞋子、手袋、运动服饰等等。街上还有多家酒店以及银行和自动取款机。沿着街道继续走,景象便焕然一新,出现了各式各样的商店。
街道上众多店铺中,最有名的要数“白兔”糖果店,那里出售各种糖果、礼品及周边商品。
我们被一些建筑物的立面所吸引——上面还装饰着巨大的有机玻璃和塑料人偶。
沿途还有许多有趣的雕像:母亲与儿子一起购物,母亲则带着婴儿购物。这里有一块上海电气公司设立的铭牌,用以纪念中国第一盏路灯在这条街上亮起。
有一次我们乘坐上海地铁,就在这条街上的车站下了车。
