After Beijing, which was generally greyish, we went to Shanghai... what a great difference! Here's a pic of the famous Nanjing Road in Shanghai. The street is just so vibrant and pulsating with all the neon lights. The buildings were also lit up very prettily. This really beats Singapore hands down. I wonder how Singapore ever intends to compete with this. In comparison, Orchard Road does look an ugly duckling. But as for the shops, I think Orchard has a better mix of shops and there;s something for everyone. In Nanjing Road, the shops are really very similar.. mainly clothes... chinese medicine...
