The Bund in Shanghai

The Bund is a street of old colonial-era buildings and the first attraction for many visitors or travellers.

The Bund runs along the west bank of the Huangpu River, where the Puxi Area is seated, and the opposite side is a cluster of Pudong's skyscrapers. That gives you a strong contrast between modern life in Pudong and the past in the Bund.

At the Bund, specially at night, there are excellent views of Pudong's high-rise from the perennially packed promenade.

Eastern Nanjing Road, the main and popular shopping center of Shanghai, heads west from the Bund's centerpoint.

The Bund lining the Huangpu River once was the major financial hub of the Far East. It is considered the city's symbol since the 1920s. It is often referred to as "the museum of buildings", as many different styles of European buildings can be found here, and building heights are restricted.
