The Bund is located along the Huangpu River, spanning approximately 1.5 kilometers in length, and is a symbolic landmark of the city of Shanghai. It is renowned for its diverse architectural styles and the enchanting night views of the Pu River.
Standing on the Bund are dozens of classical revival buildings with distinct styles, including the well-known Bank of China Building, Peace Hotel, Customs House, and HSBC Building, which together revive the splendor of the ‘Far East Wall Street’ of the past.
Surprisingly, these buildings were not designed by the same architect nor constructed in the same period, yet they exhibit a unique harmonious beauty. The Bund showcases a variety of architectural styles, including French Classical, French Mansion, and Gothic, which are significant historical relics and representative buildings of modern China, as well as a beautiful sight along the Huangpu River.
As night falls, neon lights on both banks create a dazzling spectacle. Taking a cruise or ferry on the Pu River, with the river breeze gently blowing in your face, you can appreciate the Bund, which bears witness to historical development, and on the other side, the modern construction landmark of Shanghai, Lujiazui, along with the graceful silhouette of the Waibaidu Bridge, allowing you to view this bustling city from a different perspective. The Bund is open all year round, 24 hours a day.
