Shanghai Nanjing Road
Located in Huangpu District, Shanghai City, Nanjing Road (Nanjing East Road, to be exact) stretches from Xizang Middle Road in the west to He'nan Middle Road in the east, and it is about 1,033 meters long and 18–30 meters wide.
Nanjing Road enjoys a history of over 100 years and used to be called “Parker Lane”. It was named Nanjing Road officially in 1865 and turned into a pedestrianized road in 1999. According to statistics, there are over 1,700,000 visitors to Nanjing Road every day.
The "Golden Belt": the 4.2 meter wide "golden belt" is set 1.3 meters northward of the road axis. It runs through the whole pedestrianized area. There are urban public facilities such as seats, shopping booths, enquiry booths, signboards, small sculptures, street lights, trash boxes, parterres, telephone booths and so on. Every standard unit of the golden belt is 75 meters long and there is enough north-south walking space for tourists to run across the "golden belt" freely.
The Manhole Covers: All of the 37 manhole covers on the "golden belts" were designed specially and everyone has different graphic patterns that are carved on it — each period’s embossments of the representative buildings and structures since Shanghai’s opening to the outside world, which are labeled with the building year and all of which are cast with gold and copper. The 37 manhole covers concentrate the development of Shanghai’s urban construction of over 100 years.
Sculptures:On the "golden belt", there are three groups of sculptures made of casting copper, which are “a family of three people”, “young married women” and “the mother and the daughter”. All the sculptures used the proportions of real people and adopted the skill of realism.
Sightseeing Buses: The southern side boundary of the "golden belt" is taken as the road center line, on the south of which there is a 7 meter wide lane for sightseeing buses; its operating time is 08:00 – 22:30 and the ticket price is 2 yuan.
