Wujiang Road

The old part of Shanghai's Wujiang Road (Metro West Nanjing Rd), is one of the most popular among the Chinese as a destination for eating grilled meat skewers or the famous "xiaolongbao" buns. It can be an interesting experience just to walk down the street and observe how the Chinese eat and see which brands are the most popular. Across the street you'll find restaurants and hairdressers, and the crab dishes are popular here. You can take them away or eat them sitting at a table. The color and movement of bicycles and people on Wujiang Roadd makes it one of the most amazing you could find in Shanghai,

Wujiang Road, which runs parallel to the luxurious Nanjing Road, is famous for, among other things, its exquisite fish and meat skewers. These skewers (you can choose from pork, beef or lamb, although there are also fish) are native to Xinjiang Autonomous Region in the north of Tibet, famous for its beauty and for its inhabitants: mostly Uighurs, who are Chinese Muslims. The prices are amazingly cheap, and I totally recommend the food, although you should be aware that it's so popular that it can be really difficult to find a place to sit down and eat.
