Shanghai (上海) is the largest city in China, the most modern and fast growing city in the country, with a famous old style Shanghai Bund.

One of the most famous road in Shanghai is Hengshan Road (Shanghai Metro).

Why Heng Shan Road is so important in Shanghai?
Shanghai’s first bars opened on Hengshan Road, and they remain more popular than those elsewhere. Close to Xujiahui, the street has the reputation of a high-level uptown with elegant surroundings. Bars stand side by side and you can take tea or coffee there. A wide variety of bars ranging from the brash to more intimate and quiet abound to suit your every mood. The street at night can be one of the most bustling places in Shanghai.

Hengshan Road intersecting Dongping Road is where you can find a lot of modern fine-dining restaurants with great ambiance. This area is where you have the likes of Azul, Lapiz Lazuli, Simply Thai, Zapatas, Sasha’s, Anadolu, TGIF, and more. O’ Malleys is in Taicang Road which is the next intersection after Dongping Road along Hengshan Road. Eager Beaver, Free Lance and Paulaner Brauhaus are located in Yue Yang Road which intersects Dongping. Nice to take a stroll in this area. To get here, you can take either Metro Line 1 Hengshan Road or Metro Line 1 Changshu Station, or any one of the Huaihai buses.
