China Series : Nanjing Road




My father used to tell the family about Shanghai and the Nanjing Road. During his days in Shanghai, Nanjing Road was THE place to be seen. It was a great commercial centre even then in the 1930's.

His customer must be enjoying his happy hours !

I saw other peope doing their own work. Very traditional.
