East Nanjing Road (南京东路, Nánjīng Dōng Lù) is one of the most famous shopping streets in Shanghai, China. It’s often compared to New York’s Fifth Avenue or London’s Oxford Street because of its vibrant mix of international brands, traditional Chinese stores, and historic landmarks.

Here are the key points:

It is part of the longer Nanjing Road, which is divided into East (Nanjing Dong Lu) and West (Nanjing Xi Lu).

International luxury brands alongside local specialty shops.
