The Bund of Shanghai

The Bund of Shanghai means Shanghaiwaitan in Chinese.

The Bund, which extends from Jinling Road in the south to the Waibaidu Bridge over the Suzhou Creek (the whole project of the cleanup of the Suzhou Creek is estimated to cost 20 billion yuan or US $ 2.42 billion and by 2010 hopefully the river will once again be clean enough to encourage marine life back to the area) in the north, is on the western bank of the 114-kilometer-long Huangpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River.

The Bund underwent a face-lift several years ago, which included raising the level of the breakwater to prevent flooding. The raised pedestrian promenade gives a wonderful view of the Huangpu River with the futuristic-looking buildings of the New Pudong Area rising on the other side.

It is a 1.5-kilometer boulevard and used to be called the Huangpu Shoal.

Across the Waibaidu Bridge is the Shanghai Mansions. On the 22nd Floor of the Mansions, you will find yourself above the tree line, and unfurling below you, a marvelous view of the bustling city of Shanghai with a sea of buildings in all their majesty.

Walking along Zhongshan Road, visitors can enjoy the fade grandeur of old Shanghai, for this was the Bund, where the great trading houses and banks had their headquarters. ON ONE SIDE IS A LINE OF IMPOSING 1930S European buildings, while the other is the Huangpu River.

The architecture, along the Bund is unanimously honoured as a “World Architectural Fair.”
