★★ East Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street ★★
Nanjing Road (Chinese: 南京路; pinyin: Nánjīng Lù; Shanghainese: Nuecin Lu) is a road in Shanghai. The eastern part of Nanjing Road is the main shopping streets of Shanghai, China, and is one of the world’s busiest shopping streets along with Fifth Avenue and Times Square. The street is named after the city of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province neighbouring Shanghai and the former national capital of the Republic of China. Shanghai was previously part of Jiangsu province prior to becoming a municipality.
Today’s Nanjing Road comprises two sections, Nanjing Road East and Nanjing Road West. In 2000, as a part of the development plan held by the local government, Nanjing Road was renovated to be a characteristic pedestrian street.
The History of Nanjing Road can be traced back to the year 1845. At that time it was called “Park Lane”, which stretched from the Bund to He’nan Road. In 1854, it was extended to Zhejiang Road, and eight years later, once more extended to Xizang Road. In 1862, it was named formally “Nanking Road” by the Municipal Council, which administered the International Settlement. In Chinese it was usually referred to as the Main Road (大马路). Around 1930 it was a bustling street with at least one reported casino. In 1943 the International Settlement was annulled, and after World War II the government changed its name from Nanking Road to “East Nanjing Road”.

★★ Huawei Global Flagship Store ★★
The largest Huawei flagship store in the world is located on Shanghai East Nanjing Road. The Store is Located in the Nanjing Building in the city’s thriving commercial hub, with a business area of nearly 5000 square meters.
The Art Deco-style building was built in 1935, by Mr. Silas Aaron Hardoon, a British real estate tycoon. Careful renovation, incorporating modern design and materials, has breathed new life into this historic building, making it a “City Square” where the local community can have fun, learn, share and innovate.
Designated as a second-grade historic building by the city of Shanghai, the Nanjing Building was once home to the popular Laou Kai Fook & Co in Shanghai. The building has witnessed the ups and downs of Shanghai commercial life over the past 100 years. In its latest reinvention, the Nanjing Building has become Huawei’s “City Square”.
Through respectful renovation and inventive design, Huawei has preserved the original form and function of the Nanjing Building to the fullest possible extent, and retained its original charm. This historic and cultural landmark has been reinvigorated to welcome a new generation of consumers.
The exterior façade, with its brickwork, decorative patterns and wall lamps, has been fully preserved, while modern ceramic glazed paint is used for restoration. To add a modern touch, lighting and LED screens have been added to make the building more eye-catching at night. The original structure of the interior space has been preserved, and materials such as terrazzo have been used to reinforce beams and pillars and pave the ground, giving the historic building a new look.
