Shanghai Bund Night View – A Night Walk Where East Meets West

Shanghai at night is beautiful enough just by walking along the Huangpu River.
The Bund is Shanghai’s most iconic night view spot, where vintage European-style buildings face off against sparkling modern skyscrapers.

Start of the Journey – Around 7 PM
To fully enjoy the night view, the key is to arrive just before sunset.
From the moment the sunset begins to turn red, the lights of the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower turn on,
and the water of the Huangpu River starts to sparkle along with them.

Walking Course
The Bund promenade is relatively flat and well-maintained, making it easy for anyone to walk.
Classic buildings from the 1930s British and French concessions, such as the HSBC building and Fairmont Peace Hotel, line the street,
while towering skyscrapers stand in stark contrast across the river.

For a Special View
It’s also recommended to sit at rooftop bars like 'The Lonely Planet' or 'Sir Elly’s Terrace'
and enjoy a cocktail while gazing at the night view.
Taking a cruise on the Pudong side to see the night view offers a different kind of charm.

The Bund captures the essence of Shanghai where modernity and tradition coexist.
Be sure to experience the city’s face that becomes even more vivid at night.
