After the Bund, we had the opportunity to walk down Nanjing Road, a famous shopping area. The Peace Hotel was along this road and was getting ready to close for renovation the next day. This hotel was originally known as the Cathay Hotel and opened in 1929. At the time, it was considered the most luxurious hotel in the Far East. It's guests included leaders and celebrities from all over the world.
Several blocks of the road were closed to private vehicle traffic and were a pedestrian mall. There
were lots of people shoppin
g, and even more just hanging out.
