The well-trodden Bund is a riverfront promenade of mostly 19th-century European-style buildings along the Huangpu River. See a legacy of the period when Shanghai was known as the decadent Pearl of the East and ruled by Western and Japanese powers.
The Bund offers a captivating view of the modern Pudong district with its Oriental Pearl Tower and numerous skyscrapers. After sunset the view becomes even better of famous buildings such as Customs House and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank.
