Nanjing Road is noted for its luxury. In the last one and a half century, many of China's trend setting modern infrastructure facilities made its debut here. China's gas lamps and electricity lamps appeared here first, so did the caltrops-paved road, trolley cars, elevators, and concrete high bulidings together with neon lights, skyscrapers lining with shops row on row, thousands of merchants flocking into, deparment stores sprouting one after another, and incessant streams of passengers add up to a scene that makes it insufficient to grant all words on it depicting luxury.
