The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Modern, electric street filled with shops, eateries, and lovely restaurants tucked away up above the street level. Some can be tricky to find but are worth the effort.
This is just a walking street but it is exceptional. It is very heavily used by the locals and you can find most of what you want, maybe not on the road itself, but in the side streets leading off it to the north and the south (the streets to the south are especially interesting). The streets to the north contain a very good selection of very reasonably priced restaurants with very good food. We really enjoyed promenading here both day and (espacially) night. As a bonus our hotel room (in the Sofitel Hyland) looked out onto the street and it was surprising the differences in numbers there between the early morning, the middle of the day and early and late evenings. Definitely worth a visit. Get off at the Nanjing Road East Metro station (Line 2) which is towards the northern end of the walking street or the Peoples' Square Metro station (Lines 1, 2 or 8) and walk north.
