Nanjing Dong Lu, Shanghai, China
It bills itself as the "best shopping street in China,"but in reality it's far from that.
號稱是“中國最好的購物街”,但事實遠非如此。
Nanjing Dong Lu, whose history can be traced back 150 years ago, was once known as the "Number One Commercial Street in China." Most guidebooks recommend tourists check it out for its history.
擁有150年歷史的南京東路曾被譽為“中國第一商業街”,許多旅游指南都推薦游客們好好了解它的歷史。
But apart from a handful of old shops, any sense of history is largely gone.
但是除了寥寥幾家“百年老店”之外,這里已經沒有什么“歷史感”可言了。
Locals are a rare sight. Ubiquitous brands that can be found on any major shopping street in Shanghai, however, are all too common.
這里幾乎見不著當地人,充斥其間的只有在上海各大商業街都能看到的品牌連鎖店。
