The Bund

The Bund is definitely a must-visit place when coming to Shanghai. On one side are the old buildings with strong European influences, and on the other side is the modern skyline with the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and skyscrapers. Standing here at night, watching the lights reflecting on the Huangpu River, the feeling is truly "priceless"!

📸 Super beautiful photos: Every angle looks classy and luxurious, especially at dusk. If you want photos without too many people, remember to go early or late at night.
🚢 Huangpu River cruise: A must-try experience! Sitting on the boat admiring the sparkling lights on both banks, extremely chill. Tickets cost about 120 - 300 yuan, depending on the type of boat.
☕ Amazing cafe & rooftop views: If you want to sip a drink while enjoying the view from above, you can visit Bar Rouge or The Peninsula rooftop – the price is a bit high but totally worth it!
🏛 Stroll around the old buildings: This area has many European-style buildings from the colonial era, like the Peace Hotel, HSBC Bank… If you like architecture, you will definitely love it.

How to get there:

🚇 Subway: Take Metro Line 2 or Line 10, get off at East Nanjing Road station, then walk about 10 minutes.
🚕 Taxi: Taking a taxi during the day is quite convenient, but traffic jams are common at night.
🚶♂️ Walk from Nanjing Road: If you like strolling, you can combine a walk from Nanjing Road pedestrian street to here, exploring as you go.

Real experience:
• The best time to go is at night, the lights are incredibly overwhelming.
• Quite crowded with tourists, especially on weekends, so if you prefer quiet, go early or late.
• The river wind is strong, remember to bring a jacket in cold seasons to avoid freezing!

In general, if you want to feel the soul of Shanghai, The Bund is the most ideal place. Standing here feels like stepping into a movie!
