"Wujiang Road Leisure Street", a new pedestrian street near Nanjing Xi Lu station, west of Shimen 1st Rd – this corporatized pedestrian mall replaced the demolished western part of Wujiang Lu food street (formerly the notorious Love Lane of the International Settlement) – as typical of current chinese development, a place abounding in street life and food and shops affordable for most chinese residents has been replaced with expensive shops and restaurants targeted at the nouveau riche
