From your structure, "Explore Shopping", "Shops on Main Street" etc are
all siblings. I assume though that "Explore Shopping" is meant to
encompass all the other ones, so no, doesn't look appropriate. "Shops.."
etc look like they should be <h3>s to hierarchically come under the
first <h2>Explore Shopping</h2>.
