🌃The Bund in Shanghai | A Century of Elegance Along the Huangpu River
The Bund is Shanghai's signature attraction, boasting century-old European-style buildings on one side and the dazzling, modern Lujiazui skyline on the other. It's stunning both day and night. ✨
📍Must-Experiences:
• Daytime Stroll: Admire the 27 "International Architecture Exhibition" buildings along the Huangpu River. The green roof of the Peace Hotel and the chime of the Jianghai Customs Building are highly recognizable.
• Nighttime Lights: After 7:00 PM, the two banks of the river come alive, and the illuminated skyscrapers of Lujiazui intersect with the illuminated ancient buildings, creating photo opportunities beyond measure.
• River Crossing: Take a ferry (2 yuan/person) across the Huangpu River from the Bund to Lujiazui for a unique perspective.
💡Tips:
• The best viewpoint is Zhongshan East 1st Road (in the heart of the Bund), within walking distance of Nanjing East Road Station on Metro Lines 2 and 10.
• Holidays are crowded, so it's recommended to avoid peak hours. For panoramic views without people, visit early in the morning or on weekdays.
