The Bund
The Bund is located on the banks of the Huangpu River, with a total length of about 1.5 kilometers. It is a landmark scenic spot in Shanghai. The diverse and unique European-style buildings and the night view of the Huangpu River are its highlights. Dozens of classical revival buildings in various styles stand along the Bund. Well - known buildings such as the Bank of China Building, the Peace Hotel, the Customs House, and the HSBC Building reproduce the glory of the former "Wall Street of the Far East". Surprisingly, these buildings were not designed by the same architect nor built in the same period, yet they possess a unique harmonious beauty. There are various architectural styles along the Bund, including French classical style, French mansion - style, Gothic style, etc. These are important historical sites and representative buildings in modern and contemporary China, and also a beautiful scenery along the Huangpu River. When night falls, the neon lights on both sides of the river shine brightly and reflect each other. By taking a cruise or ferry on the Huangpu River, with the gentle river breeze on your face, on one side is the Bund that has witnessed historical development, on the other side is Lujiazui, the landmark of Shanghai's modern construction, and there is also the charming figure of the Garden Bridge. It allows you to appreciate the beauty of this prosperous city from a different perspective.
