Huangpu District
One of the world's most densely populated urban areas, Huangpu is a prime residential area as well as shopping territory and business center. Once home to the 'international settlement' the Shanghai municipal government has taken up residence in the area and govern the city from its core.The eastern section of Nanjing Road is perhaps one of the Shanghai's greatest tourist attractions, making it a great place to people watch but overpriced for shopping. You'll find yourself harassed by good-natured peddlers while walking under flashing neon lights and pounding music. This road is the primary artery from old to new, and is the pulse of modern Shanghai. You'll find groups of youths sauntering off to KTV halls all along the road, intermingled with tourists, locals and expatriates alike.
People's Square, which is along Nanjing Road, is a delightful place for people watching, or to unpack a small picnic. On weekends, match makers gather in the central area to arrange potential marriages, while youths come here to practice their inline skating moves and peddlers use the conglomeration of people as a perfect excuse to sell their merchandise.
Nearby, the Shanghai Grand Theater, and Shanghai Museum are worthy attractions that can easily help you pass an entire day.
