There are many activities one may decide on pursuing when visiting, be it restaurants, or the nightlife or a night at the Opera, or be it 5 star hotels, Shanghai has got it all, there are a lot of options.  For the tourist who has a particular fondness for finding bargains and spending the days in the market places looking for treasures, then this is the place.  One of the best places to go for a shopping extravaganza is Nanjing Road.  These is a very long street, which is most famous for the stalls and the shops on the eastern end near the Bund.  The shops are targeted for the Asian tourists, so to find yourself here means you will be finding good deals.

The locals of Shanghai however see this as a place that is a bit too touristy, kind of look down on it.  So if you are looking to not only find those bargains in the market places but to also experience a little more of a traditional and authentic adventure, then head over to Huaihai Road.  This is also a very busy street, filled with people.  The shops here tend to be more upscale than those on Nanjing Road.  If one is looking for shops that are little more funky or individual in nature, the boutique kinds of stores, the French Concession Streets are the place to go.  These are An Fu Lu Road, Chang Le Lu Road and Xin Le Road.

In this area the streets are lined with trees, the buildings are low rise and quaint, and there are many unique stores to find accessories and fashionable clothing.  This is where the young of Shanghai shop to find the latest fashion trends.  Many of the owners of the shops here, are the designers and for those wanting more than a good deal on Western brand knock offs, this is there they will find the real deal, straight from the hands that created it.  In all, there are so many places to shop, such as the malls and the flea markets, so whatever ones taste and whatever one is looking for, they will be able to find it along the streets of Shanghai.
