Nanjing Road is located in the city center, running in a west-east direction. Its eastern section East Nanjing Road is in Huangpu District and extends from The Bund west to People's Square. The western section West Nanjing Road begins at People's Square and continues westward towards Jing'an District.
In 2000, as a part of the development plan held by the local government, East Nanjing Road was renovated to be a characteristic pedestrian street. East Nanjing Road is a dedicated commercial zone. At its eastern end is the central section of the Bund, featuring the Peace Hotel. Immediately west of the Bund precinct was traditionally the hub of European-style restaurants and cafes, although in recent years these have become less of a feature as the demographics of visitors to Nanjing Road have shifted from affluent local residents to visitors from around the country. Close by is the Central Market, a century-old outdoor market today specializing in electronic components and digital media. Located here are most of Shanghai's oldest and largest department stores, as well as a variety of domestic retail outlets, and some traditional eateries with a long history.
