By Heart in the sea of stars |

The Bund is a landmark of Shanghai, and it would be a shame not to visit it. The Bund's beauty is breathtaking both day and night. During the day, you can admire the international architecture along Zhongshan East Road in Puxi and the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in Pudong. At night, you can enjoy stunning river views. While there have been stampedes, this doesn't diminish its beauty. Getting to the Bund is easy: take Metro Line 2, get off at Nanjing East Road, and it's a short walk. You can also drive, and there's a parking lot down the Bund, but you'll need to manage the parking spaces. You can explore the Bund from beginning to end. If you have the energy, head north to Huangpu Park and the Waibaidu Bridge. Head south to Shiliupu Wharf, then all the way to Shanghai Old Street and the Old City God Temple. For a river cruise, you can buy a ticket for the Pujiang River Tour or take the round-trip ferry for four yuan, which is fantastic!

By Uncle Lu has no books |

One of Shanghai's most famous destinations, a must-see when visiting the city. Here are my thoughts on the Bund: [Location and Access] Located on Jiangxi Middle Road in Huangpu District, it's easily accessible. Take the subway to Nanjing East Road Station on Line 2 or Line 10. [Recommendation] Nestled along the Huangpu River, the Bund boasts 52 distinctly classical revivalist buildings, known as the "World Architecture Expo." They are important historical sites and representative buildings of modern China, and a key landmark in Shanghai. From here, you can stroll along the riverside promenade and admire the Oriental Pearl Tower, which, especially on rainy days, feels like a paradise on earth. Located in the heart of the city, it's incredibly convenient for dining, drinking, and entertainment. [Cons] Heavy traffic and congestion. [Overall] A must-see when visiting Shanghai!

By Melody |

During my second week in Shanghai, I went to the Bund alone. I still remember the shock and admiration I felt. My old workplace was on Nanjing West Road, and I'd come a few times after get off work on Fridays, laptop in hand. Looking at the brightly lit skyscrapers on both sides, I felt truly privileged and excited to live in such a city. It was like shedding all my fatigue, and I felt strangely healed.

I don't particularly like tourist-style check-in tours, but the Bund is a must-see when you come to Shanghai. When it comes to playing tips, I think of a lot of different things, so I'll try to list them one by one:



The Bund boasts a collection of internationally renowned buildings from Shanghai's early days (now home to offices for major banks, financial institutions, and insurance companies, all lined with imposing, elegant Western-style houses). Nanjing Road, a time-honored commercial street, remains prosperous. Across the river is Lujiazui, home to leading financial institutions, as well as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jinmao Tower. It epitomizes the quintessential Shanghai experience of both classic and modern. If you're just looking for the scenery without shopping or climbing, a half-day tour of both the Bund and Lujiazui is a breeze.



2. Things to avoid: the sightseeing tunnel, the sightseeing bus, and Nanjing Road. The tunnel is nothing but flashing lights. The sightseeing bus isn't very cost-effective; with proper planning, you can pass by some famous streets without spending an extra 200 RMB. Nanjing Road is more about commemoration than shopping; if you really want to shop for local specialties, Huaihai Middle Road is recommended.



3. Be sure to walk along Yuanmingyuan Road behind the International Buildings complex, which is a miniature of the old Shanghai. Every time you go there, you can often find photos taken at popular Taobao stores, and you can also take a lot of photos yourself.



If just looking at the scenery is a bit boring, the nearby Rockbund Art Museum is a fun place to spend an hour or two exploring. Admission is 60 yuan and it's within walking distance. The modern art exhibits are impressive, but if you're worried about navigating them, there are several free guided tours daily. Timed to attend and see them, you'll truly gain a new appreciation for modern art.



5. By the way, the northern starting point of the Bund is Waibaidu Bridge, the same bridge where Yiping jumped into the river in the film "Romance in the Rain". If you are interested, you can walk there and take a look;



6. When I visit the Bund with most of my friends, we usually set aside about an hour. I usually take them to the riverside first to take photos; then I stroll along the river, admiring the historical buildings on both sides; after walking north to Waibaidu Bridge, I take Yuanmingyuan Road behind the International Architecture Complex and return to Nanjing East Road subway station; finally, I stop in front of the famous Nanjing Road to take photos. My friends are all very satisfied with this arrangement, and I recommend it to everyone.

By Kang Kang, eat less |

Every time I go to Shanghai, I always go to the Bund. It feels like strolling in a park, with people coming and going, and I can plug in my headphones, listen to music, and enjoy the breeze.



During the day, you can admire the distinctive architectural styles of the buildings on both sides of the river. At night, the buildings in Pudong and Puxi are illuminated, creating a bustling atmosphere. Later in the evening, with the lights off, the Bund becomes quite quiet. Amidst the whistles of ships and the gentle river breeze, the Bund takes on a tranquil and silent atmosphere, allowing you to hear the city speak its mind.

By Fan Jiavi |

This is a place that makes me feel happy no matter my age, gender or time of year (unless it is crowded). Strolling along the Bund promenade, I can hardly take in the scenery on both sides. On one side is the old Shanghai a hundred years ago, which is full of humiliation, history and glory. On the other side is the new Shanghai across the century, which is upright and proud.

By Blue Moon V Sorrow |

It's really nice, the night view, and there's a small train you can ride. You can see the filming site of the "Peace Hotel" nearby, which is better than what you see on TV. I recommend waiting nearby in the evening. There are many shopping malls nearby, so you can rest and take a cruise to see the scenery. Not bad, I recommend it as one of the must-see attractions in Shanghai.

By Cong Ye |

After being so used to living in smaller cities, visiting the cosmopolitan city of old Shanghai is truly a unique experience. The Bund is highly recommended and worth a visit. Its night views are stunning, and its architecture is magnificent. Even if you're not there on holidays, it's always packed. To get to the Bund, take the subway to Nanjing East Road Station, which is a ten-minute walk away. You can also take the sightseeing tunnel, which costs 50 yuan one way and 70 yuan round-trip.

By Yangyangyangyangyang |

The Bund is truly beautiful. The multinational architectural complex truly lives up to its name, perfectly blending with the modern architecture of Pudong across the river. What surprised me was that despite the crowds, the Bund remained remarkably clean, with virtually no trash to be found. I silently gave it a thumbs-up. A city's facade is incredibly important, and sanitation is fundamental. Seeing well-maintained facades inexplicably fills me with a positive impression, allowing me to lessen my preconceived notions about a city.

By Go your own way |

Located on the banks of the Huangpu River in Huangpu District, Shanghai, the Outer Huangpu Beach stretches 1.5 kilometers, stretching from Yan'an East Road in the south to Waibaidu Bridge over Suzhou Creek in the north. To the east lies the Huangpu River, while to the west lies the concentration of financial and foreign trade institutions in old Shanghai. In 1943, the Bund's official name was Zhongshan East First Road. A visit to Shanghai is a must-see for visitors to the Bund, where they can admire the modern architecture of Pudong, including skyscrapers like the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Shanghai World Trade Center, and experience the charm of the city.

By When I was flying, I had a light dream |

In 1844 (the 24th year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty), the Bund became part of the British Concession, becoming a true reflection of Shanghai's foreign concessions and the starting point for the modern city of Shanghai. Today, the Bund stretches 1.5 kilometers, with the Huangpu River on one side and 52 European-style buildings on the other. On the other side, skyscrapers such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center can be seen.

By The King of Comedy |

The Bund is lined with ancient European-style buildings, transporting you back to 19th-century Paris. Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance... no wonder the Bund is known as the "Museum of International Architecture."

The east bank of the Huangpu River offers a completely different view. The high-rise buildings of Lujiazui form a sharp contrast with the quaint buildings of Puxi.

The Bund was incredibly lively. From the moment I exited Metro Line 2, the crowds were constantly flowing, forcing everyone to stay on the right side of the road, whether heading to or coming back from the Bund. It was crowded, but it was still much better than Yu Garden. At least we could find a deserted spot near the river to take photos and enjoy the night view. The lights of the International Buildings complex were dazzling and varied, with a variety of transformations. Initially, all lights were off, then the buildings lit up one by one, in four shades: light yellow, yellow, dark yellow, and orange. It was quite cool.

By Grace the Mouse |

One night, I suddenly had the urge to go to the Bund. Before my bus even reached the stop, I was already overwhelmed by the throngs of people swarming the streets. As a renowned Shanghai attraction, the Bund is undoubtedly stunning, and the lighting renovation is even more stunning. However, the sheer volume and noise of tourists is also undeniable. I'm sure no one will forget the tragedy that occurred on New Year's Day one year. I just hope that Shanghainese and tourists alike will all behave in a respectful and orderly manner, balancing the beauty of the scenery.

If the weather is fine

Maybe I'll stay here for a long time

If the weather is fine

My photos will turn out better

If the weather is fine

Will I just take a quick photo and walk by?

The answer is: under the gloomy weather, I could only take photos and leave for the purpose of checking in. What kind of weather conditions are you looking at?!

It's a pity that I can only see the "bottle opener"

But then I thought: it was because I had to go to the next check-in spot closer to my residence, so I didn’t see the Bund night view. Maybe the night view would be a little better... I always feel that taking pictures at this landmark attraction in Shanghai must be done with the determination to photoshop it into a blockbuster before uploading it. However, this horrible weather made it impossible for me to start. So, what? Since I have come to a famous attraction, I can’t help but take a check-in photo. After all, there are so many stalls in the Bund Park doing business of taking pictures... But paying people to take pictures is not my style, so I started to discerning again.

The two beautiful young ladies who took pictures of each other became my "helping shoot seed players", because I felt that they would want to take pictures together and help each other. As a result, this young lady made me very satisfied again after the young man who squatted and took pictures hard in the morning. She can show her face, tks~ kind passers-by

That Uniqlo festive bag 🧧 in this horrible weather photo played the role of "proving that this photo is not black and white"

I just skipped the Bund for a quick check-in. What I want to say is that if I have the chance to visit Shanghai again, I will still come to the Bund. If the weather is fine, I will come. If the weather is bad, I will come to see the night view. Isn’t it nice too!

By Dark Star Anding |

This is said to be the best vantage point for viewing the Lujiazui architectural complex. The nearby international architectural complex, most of which are 100 to 120 years old, was once a symbol of Shanghai's prosperity and the financial center of Shanghai and even the Far East.

It's said that a visit to Shanghai requires a visit to the Bund; otherwise, you haven't been to Shanghai. If you want to learn the stories behind each building, you can use Baidu Encyclopedia or rent a guide.

By syo |

Go up to the Bund Observation Deck

The first thing you see is the magnificent night view of Lujiazui

The Oriental Pearl Tower, the Global Center, and the World Trade Center stand out before your eyes.

Although I have seen this angle of view on many websites

But seeing it with my own eyes

Still quite stunning

The Bund is about 1.5 kilometers long.

There are classical buildings with different styles standing here

Neon lights on

Let you feel the charm of the "city that never sleeps"

By Journey Star Fungus |

The Bund has become a symbol of Shanghai, especially at night when the lights come on. Standing on the Bund Observation Avenue and looking at the night view of Lujiazui across the street is quite breathtaking. You can also choose to see the Bund night view from the nearby Waibaidu Bridge, but it is a bit far to walk.

Tips: The lights are turned on at 17:30 in winter and later in summer. The lights on the Bund are turned on every night and turned off at 22:00 on weekdays, and later on major holidays.

By noob |

I always saw the charming scenery of the Bund in other people's photo albums. Today I finally got to check in here. It turns out that this is what the landmark of Shanghai looks like. I spent New Year's Eve here. The crowds were huge. I saw the news the next day and found that there were more than 90,000 people at midnight that day. It was spectacular. This New Year's Eve was very interesting. I saw the most people, the most police, and the most police cars. We didn't go back until midnight. They worked hard to accompany everyone. I saw the true face of the "switch-style" road crossing that has been forwarded online. Thank you for your hard work. Happy New Year.

By Liu Daneng |

When you come to Shanghai, the Bund is a must-see. It's a popular spot, often featured in TV dramas, and it's a truly famous attraction. Walking along the Bund at night, enjoying the breeze, is incredibly relaxing. Across from it all is the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the building next to it even displays the words "I Love Shanghai" on a loop. The Bund's night view is quite nice, though it can be quite crowded.

By Shake it. |

There were so many people, probably because it was a holiday, that it was impossible to walk. Fortunately, there was a police officer every few steps to maintain order, otherwise the whole road would have been blocked. If you want to go, be prepared, the traffic lights are useless, and pedestrians have taken up all the lanes...

The people next to you will keep pushing you, so you must stand firm, otherwise you will be pushed to the outside in a minute. You must also pay attention to your manners.

We waited for almost an hour and finally the sunset appeared. It was very beautiful.

The lighting time can be found online, it’s different in winter and summer. We took a few beautiful photos and prepared to go back. The crowds were so suffocating!

The Bund is a symbol of Shanghai. If you haven't visited the Bund, you haven't really been to Shanghai. Even someone like me, who hasn't been there before, still needs to see it. The Bund is stunning at night. Across the Huangpu River, the Pudong New Area, with its skyscrapers and flashing neon lights, feels like Victoria Harbour. The International Buildings complex is ablaze with lights. The historic Peace Hotel, also on the Bund, is also located on the Bund. Looking out the windows, you can see the 20th-century decor, giving you a sense of old Shanghai. The Bund is always a popular tourist destination, and at night, many young couples in glamorous attire take wedding photos there.

By Zhang Dashuai |

The ultimate destination for Chinese city tourism. Shanghainese culture is truly remarkable. It's a window into China for Europeans and Americans. The air is thick with perfume. Without interacting with people from all walks of life in Shanghai, you won't understand why Shanghainese, who often live in caged spaces and use narrow alleyways as their restaurants and bathrooms in the summer, are so proud and look down on outsiders. As an international metropolis, home to Fortune 500 companies and foreign banks, a premier destination for global luxury brands, and a hub for China's finest education and medical resources, these elements speak for themselves.

By Li travels all over the world |

In August 2018, I visited five major cities in East China and spent about three days in Shanghai. On my first night, I went to the Bund to see the city. The Bund was incredibly crowded. The streets were packed, teeming with people, and I thoroughly experienced the clamor of drums, firecrackers, and the throngs of people. The Bund was beautiful, and Lujiazui and the Oriental Pearl Tower across the way were even more beautiful.

By Can't stay |

The Bund skyline in Shanghai is one of Shanghai's most famous city cards. Construction of the Oriental Pearl Tower began in July 1991, and it has created an oriental miracle in 30 years.

By Lin Guaiguai Rabbit |

If you've never been to Shanghai and had to recommend one or two places to visit, the Bund would probably top the list. After all, the Bund is the Bund, and its imposing presence is undeniable. A stroll through it will give you a glimpse into the essence of Shanghai. Each building, taken individually, is truly imposing. But remember, when visiting the Bund, don't just wander around and take photos. At the very least, you should learn the names of the main, distinctive buildings. For example, the building that chimes at the exact hour is the Customs House. Originally, it was a mechanical clock, but for some reason, the music was changed to "The East is Red," and now it only plays electronically. The building with a lush green roof at the intersection of Nanjing East Road is the Peace Hotel, home to many celebrities. Two blocks north of the Peace Hotel, the building with a dazzling golden facade at night is the House of Roosevelt. This place is membership-only, so even if you have money, you can't enter. So, don’t go around saying that Shanghai is not fun and boring. If you are high enough to get a few members, you will definitely find it more interesting.

By Rising from the Fire |

We arrived at the thronging Bund at 5 p.m., and it's hard to say there's no off-season for Bund tourism. It's always crowded, year-round. The 1,500-meter-long Bund was packed with people, making it incredibly difficult to find a prime photo spot.

By Wendy Little Star |

Now that we are here, let’s go to the Bund and feel the surging crowds.

The dazzling night view across the river makes people involuntarily sigh at the beauty of life.

The Oriental Pearl Tower dazzles in the night, while the towering skyscrapers highlight the enchanting charm of Shanghai. Add to that the gently passing cruise ships, and you have one of China's most beautiful city skylines.

By One carat diamond ring |

We set off for the Bund in the evening. We had to go to the Bund that night because we were really looking forward to seeing the night view of the Bund.

Standing by the river, feeling the river breeze, although the temperature is very high, there is also a hint of coolness.

Just looking at the lights at night is enough to satisfy me. There's also the Shanghai People's Heroes Monument on the riverbank. Like the Liberation Monument in Chongqing, it was built very tall and served as a landmark. Now, however, the monument is obscured by the sheer number of tall buildings. Still, the Shanghai monument is quite tall. From a distance, it's as dazzling as the Oriental Pearl Tower.

By Derekwong |

The Huangpu River starts in Zhejiang, flows eastward through Shanghai, and makes a sharp turn of nearly 90 degrees here, which is a real golden bend.

It made the Bund what it once was, and also made Lujiazui what it is today.



The Bund was once just a shallow beach. After the Opium War, Shanghai was forced to open its port for trade. The British who came to China were attracted by the Bund’s unique geographical location. More than 20 Western-style buildings along the street have witnessed the changes of history.

By super bag |

When talking about Shanghai, the most iconic landmark is undoubtedly the Bund.

The former British Concession, now a cultural street.

On the banks of the Huangpu River, in the bustling foreign concessions, the old story of Shanghai begins here.

Whether it is the 52 international architectural exposition buildings of different styles on the Puxi side that represent the epitome of the times, or the Bund trio (Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Tower, and Shanghai World Center) on the other side of the river that serve as a benchmark for development and change, the Bund has become the best interpretation of decadence and extravagance.

Just like in "A Tale of Two Cities", this is the best of times and the worst of times.

How many people stay here to pursue their dreams, and how many people leave because their dreams are shattered. This is a city that does not believe in tears.

By LadyD Yingying |

It is so beautiful, you must see the night view. My photos are not very good, but it is really beautiful. Chongqing’s night view is also beautiful, but Shanghai’s Bund is indeed well-deserved of its reputation.

By Zheng Zizai |

Although the Bund’s night view has been overtaken by many places, its history cannot be erased. If you have time, you can go and see it, although it may not be as good as the night view at your doorstep!

By Like Maple |

The Bund is a landmark of Shanghai. It would be a shame not to visit it if you come to Shanghai. On one side, you can see the international buildings along Zhongshan East Road in Puxi, and on the other side, you can see the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in Pudong.

By VV |

There were huge crowds of people in Shanghai during the May Day holiday.

But it seems that only during major holidays like this will the lights along the Bund be fully lit up. It is majestic and full of brilliance.

By Purple Fly |

The Bund is a must-see destination for visitors to Shanghai. Admission is free, and the Puxi side of the Bund is lined with magnificent Western-style buildings. There's a large clock on the Bund that chimes every hour, audible throughout the entire Bund. From Puxi, you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower and other landmarks across the way.

By Highlight images |

The Bund has so many characteristics, such as the International Architecture Expo, huge crowds of people, and people of all races. Cruise ships shuttle across the Huangpu River, and behind them are buildings of various styles. Opposite is the Lujiazui Financial Center, which is glittering and colorful, and the Oriental Pearl Tower is dazzling. Behind it are high-rise buildings such as the Shanghai Tower, which compete with each other for brilliance. If you want to see the night view of Lujiazui, you have to go there early. If you are late, you can only stand at the back and watch it.

By Martian User |

Back then, I walked specifically to see the night view, so I don't know about the service. It was quite late, but I still felt like I was transported back in time. It's a shame I kept looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower on the other side of the Huangpu River, but never once crossed to the other side. I'd definitely come here to see the night view from the Bund.

The Bund, located on the banks of the Huangpu River, is a historic and cultural district in China. Starting in 1844 (the 24th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty), the area became part of the British Concession, becoming a true reflection of Shanghai's "Ten Miles of Foreign Concession" and the starting point for the former Shanghai Concession and the entire modern city of Shanghai. The Bund stretches 1.5 kilometers, stretching from Yan'an East Road in the south to Waibaidu Bridge over Suzhou Creek in the north. To the east lies the Huangpu River, and to the west, it was the epicenter of Shanghai's financial and foreign trade institutions. After Shanghai was established as a commercial port, foreign banks, trading houses, general associations, and newspapers began to gather here, making the Bund a financial center for China and even the Far East. The Bund, home to 52 distinctly classical revivalist buildings, is known as the Bund's International Architecture Exhibition. It is a significant historical site and representative building in modern China, and a landmark of Shanghai.

By UNCLE |

Lujiazui in Pudong, across the river from the Bund, is home to Shanghai's iconic buildings such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai Tower, and Shanghai World Financial Center. It has become a symbol of China's reform and opening up and a microcosm of Shanghai's modernization.

By Yu Hao |

Located on the banks of the Huangpu River in Huangpu District, downtown Shanghai, the Outer Huangpu Bund, or Waihuangpu Beach, was designated as the British Concession in 1844 (the 24th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty), becoming a true reflection of Shanghai's "Ten Miles of Foreign Concession" and the starting point for the former Shanghai Concession and the entire modern city of Shanghai. The Bund, stretching from Yan'an East Road in the south to Waibaidu Bridge in the north, boasts 52 distinctly classical revivalist buildings along its western side, known as the Bund's International Architecture Exhibition. This area served as the financial center and hub of foreign trade institutions during the old Shanghai era, reflecting the city's capitalism and long considered a landmark of Shanghai and a symbol of its history.

By Xiao Mengmeng |

The Bund is the city star of Shanghai, encompassing the essence of the city of Shanghai. It is also the most prosperous area in Shanghai. The night view is also very beautiful. There are ferries available for you to take, and sightseeing by ferry is more in line with the scenery of the Bund!

By Fengyang |

When I arrived at the Bund, I looked at the buildings on both sides of the river. The west bank was like the Seine River, and the east bank was like Victoria Harbour. It was so beautiful. It was a pity that I didn’t wear it. I will definitely go there to wear it and have dinner next time.

The Bund (English: The Bund; Shanghainese pinyin: nga thae), located on the bank of the Huangpu River in Huangpu District, Shanghai, is also known as the Outer Huangpu Beach. It is a historical and cultural district in China. In 1844 (the 24th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty), the Bund area was designated as a British concession.

The weather was very good on the day we came, the sky was blue, the photos we took were beautiful, and the trail along the river was very suitable for a walk.

The Bund, a must-visit spot for Shanghai tourists, is becoming more and more beautiful.

A must-visit spot when you visit Shanghai, The Bund is Shanghai’s business card.

The first time I visited the Bund, I was stunned by the scenery. The bustling Shanghai I imagined stood across the Huangpu River. It was like viewing Hong Kong from Victoria Harbour, with the most stunning perspective and scenery.

If you want to see the Bund's night view, arrive after 7 p.m. during this season. The lights on the buildings on the other side of the river won't be fully turned on until 7 p.m., and then both sides of the Huangpu River will be immersed in a dazzling display of lights and people, making it a must-see.

There are so many people. I regret not taking a boat tour. The scenery is still good.

By Li |

During holidays, there are really a lot of people. It is recommended to go in the afternoon so that you can appreciate the contrast before and after the lights are turned on.

When traveling to Shanghai, the first choice is the Bund

By Hee Hee |

It's truly the most fashionable place! But you really have to spend a certain amount of money! Shanghai's beauty is eye-catching, but it's also out of reach!

By June Lotus |

The Bund has beautiful scenery and is a representative of Shanghai's landmark culture. If you come to Shanghai and don't visit the Bund, it's like you haven't been to Shanghai.

A must-see place when visiting Shanghai. The old Bund was very crowded. Now the two banks are very open and it is a great place to enjoy the Huangpu River.

The prosperity of an international metropolis and the pride of national development.

The Bund in Shanghai, a vast expanse of foreign-style buildings, is a haven of tranquility, even if it gets wet on a rainy day.

If you want to experience the bustling city atmosphere, then you must go to Shanghai. If you go to Shanghai and don’t visit the Bund, it’s like you haven’t been to Shanghai at all.

There are many check-in spots on the Bund, but this perspective on the road south of the Peninsula Hotel allowed me to see a different view of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

It is a famous landmark in Shanghai. It is really nice. Even though there are many people, the scenery is still the same.

By Chrissy |

It was a very hot day, crowded with people, and it wasn't sunny either. It looked just like that, so I just checked in.

The Bund is beautiful, and it is even more beautiful at night. It is very spectacular.

By China-TravelNote user Mumu |

The night view of the Bund is beautiful. I recommend taking a walk after dinner.

By Ant Forest |

The Oriental Pearl Tower is located in Pudong New Area, across the Huangpu River from the Bund. It is the third tallest TV tower in the world.

The timing was wrong. It rained all the time when I was in Shanghai.

By branches |

There were a lot of people, so I just stood there and took pictures of the Pearl Tower. I walked back after a while. The weather was not good. It would be more beautiful to take pictures of the sunset in the clear autumn.

By Rongzi |

The Oriental Pearl Tower under the blue sky and white clouds and the surging Huangpu River are so beautiful.

I heard that the Bund, City God Temple, and Nanjing Road in Shanghai looked like this yesterday. I can't help but feel a little relieved that I wasn't there.

By Detective Xia Yu |

This is Shanghai, the Magic City. With the rush of people and passenger ships passing by, its position as a financial center is very solid.

We went to Jeju Island and transferred in Shanghai. Then we took the opportunity to go to the Bund to see the charm of Shanghai. The taxi fare from the hotel to the Bund was 150 yuan. The Bund was lined with European-style buildings on both sides, which still retained the atmosphere left by history and were luxurious. There were luxury stores next to them and luxury cars coming and going. Walking further into the alley, we saw a Sichuan restaurant and went there to eat Cantonese food.
