The Bund

The Bund (Wàitān) is the historic hallmark of Shanghai, a place where you can see the old colonial charm and the futuristic glitter of a modern metropolis. Stretching approximately 1.5 km along the western bank of the Huangpu River—from the mouth of Suzhou Creek in the north to Huangpu Park in the south—the Bund is one of the most picturesque and vibrant spots in the city.
