Exploring East Nanjing Road (How to go and what to expect)

East Nanjing Road is one of the famous landmarks for tourists when they visit Shanghai. I’ve been here many times but I always fail to take proper photos to document them well.

I’ve noticed that not a lot of people know that East Nanjing Road is. If you look at the subway map, the whole East Nanjing Road is the gap between People’s Square station and East Nanjing Rd. station.

How to go to East Nanjing Road:
(since East Nanjing Road is long, you have 2 options to go to depending on which area you want to see)

If you want to go to M&M world area:
1. Get down at People’s Square station (line 1/2/8)
2. Get out of exit 5

you will notice Radisson Blu on your left. If you see that building, it means you are near East Nanjing Road

you’ll end up here, when you turn to your right

If you want to go to Innisfree area (close to The Bund):
1. Get down at East Nanjing Rd. station (line 2/10)
2. Get out of exit 3

the mall beside the exit is the one with the Innisfree shop and Innisfree Green Cafe

We decided to have dinner at this mall, which is connected to the M&M world and Sephora.

(note: this is far from East Nanjing Road station, you have to get down from People’s Square, scroll up again to see what station you should be getting down)

all the restaurants had long lines so we decided to have this for dinner

I also found my fave rainbow flavored Dippin’ Dots!! Can’t say no to this

DSCF5243 — I asked my mom to take a photo of me

DSCF5245 — bec it has been soooo long since I was able to eat this! It’s so hard to find rainbow flavor in the Philippines

After having our dinner and some Dippin’ Dots, we decided to walk the whole East Nanjing Road station to enjoy the weather.

ps. we were very very tired when we reached the end.

I noticed that the Innisfree branch had the Green Cafe so I suggested that we take a break first before heading back to our place.

(note: Innisfree and Innisfree Green Cafe is near East Nanjing Road station, and far from M&M’s world , scroll up again to see what station you should be getting down)
