如果是十年前，有人问你上海最值得参观和游览的地方在哪里，我想，无疑是南京路步行街和上海外滩了。但是现在可能却是新天地和田子坊，抑或是东方明珠和金茂大厦。

不过想当年，南京路步行街和上海外滩曾引领了全国很多城市步行街争相学习的榜样，南京路步行街和上海外滩也一直是上海人最引以为豪的地方。而随着上海经济的快速发展，以及城市多元化格局的形成，南京路和上海外滩不再是上海人的唯一，上海人也不再经常光顾，这里逐渐变成外地游人集聚的场所，伴随着巨大的人流，南京路汇集了各大商场，成了上海老牌的商业中心，而外滩却成了灸手可热的观光地，沿着外滩金贵金贵的欧派建筑群，原先的商住功能已成功地转变为更多的现代旅游功能，如酒店、餐饮、购物等。

If someone asked you which is the most valuable place in Shanghai ten years ago, you would no doubt told him or her they were just Nanjing Road and Shanghai Bund. But it is changing now, they might be other places, such as New Tiandi or Tianzi Fang and so on.
