People's Square is a large public square just off of Nanjing Rd. in the Huangpu District of Shanghai. People's Square is the site of Shanghai's municipal government building, and is used as the standard reference point for measurement of distance in the Shanghai municipality.
Prior to 1949, People's Square was a part of the horseracing course of Shanghai. After gambling and horseracing were banned, a part of the race course became the People's Square.
In the 1990s, major changes were made to the square. The Shanghai Municipal Government was moved from the former HSBC Building, and the Shanghai Museum was also moved away from its previous site in a former office building. More recent additions include the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall.
Other parts of the race course still remain today. The clubhouse buildings became the Shanghai Art Museum, while part of the race track became People's Park, a public park.
Prominent landmarks on and around the square include JW Marriott, Shanghai , Shanghai City Hall, Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center and People's Park.
Major department stores on and around the square include Raffles' City, Shanghai No.1 Department Store and Shanghai New World Department Store.

Nanjing Rd. is the main shopping street of Shanghai, and is one of the world's busiest shopping streets. Today's Nanjing Rd. comprises two sections, Nanjing Rd.(E) and Nanjing Rd.(W). In some contexts, " Nanjing Road " refers only to what was pre-1945 Nanjing Rd., today's Nanjing Rd.(E), which is largely pedestrianised. Prior to 1949, the road's English name was rendered " Nanking Road " using the standard romanization of the time.
Its eastern section is in Huangpu District and extends from The Bund west to People's Square. Most shops along this section close around 10pm every night.
