南京路步行街溜一圈,全是街頭表演大拿! 讀圖時代

每周日的圖片專欄上線！

南京東路，又稱「南京路步行街」，是上海最為繁華熱鬧的地方之一。

這裡沒有車輛，各路行人熙熙攘攘，商鋪鱗次櫛比，燈光璀璨……

來南京路步行街，除了看建築逛商店，你也可以試試「捕捉」當地的街頭表演家。

和靠此掙錢營生的職業街頭表演者不同，這些人大多是上海本地人，平時以在街邊唱唱歌跳跳舞彈彈琴作為興趣愛好，既是娛人，更是娛己。

GT攝影記者Yang Hui最近去了一趟南京路步行街，看看他的鏡頭捕捉到了哪些「街頭大拿」——

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street has become the city’s outdoor theater

The dark curtain of night serves to make Shanghai's most famous street even more charming than it is in the daytime. Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, stretching from the city's busiest subway hub at People's Square all the way down to the Bund, demonstrates the city's historical heritage along with an endless neon facade that illuminates throngs of tourists beneath like an endless stream.

Shanghai's extraordinary views and spirited atmosphere not only draw more visitors than any other city in China, but also inspires local residents and art aficionados to use the city as a stage for their passion about life.

Aunties performing Chinese-style square dancing in front of stores, and impromptu gatherings of vocalists singing popular melodies from the 1980s, turn Nanjing Road East into a veritable outdoor theater.

There are also cosplay enthusiasts dressed up as their idols who encourage spectators to gather around and watch their unprofessional yet earnest antics (and possibly also donate some spare change).

Although many street performers are seniors from nearby traditional lane housing, some young people have also joined in the nightly revelry.

Using portable amplifiers, they present the latest hip-hop dance moves or rap along to foreign music while visitors from home and abroad film them on their smartphones.

Most of these performers are not officially qualified with a street artist certificate, but order is maintained by kindhearted local authorities who are willing to look the other way so long as everything remains family-friendly.

After all, a lively and entertaining pedestrian street serves to further the local economy while also to promote Shanghai's diversified and highly cultural citizenry.
