4:00 pm on a Saturday is probably the worst time to walk/shop Nanjing Road East. Every tourist and local in Shanghai converges at this time. Above, the city is decorating everywhere for the upcoming Golden Week and National Day in the first week of October.
I took these photos in a less crowded area of the street. Walk back one block behind me and the crowd was doubled. This is the only street I've seen where the police enforce the traffic light to the full level of strictness to order. Pedestrians could not even place one foot in the cross-walk when the light was red.
