Nanjing East Road of Shanghai: The Most Capitalistic Street of China

Everywhere along the Nanjing East Road, intense commercial activities are screaming with "buy me, buy me...take me home, take me home..." Locals and tourists alike are spending like there is no tomorrow. Another common sight, large billboards or displays continue to milk from horrendous abuse of intellectual properties. It is essentially a place where everything goes, with or without taste. This pedestrian boulevard is not catered for upper income levels. Bad behavior, ill manner and rude gesture such as beating traffic lights, spitting, littering, loud mouth - peoples are trying so desperately to get be the center of attention - are everywhere.
