Shanghai >> The Bund

The Bund is located in the section of riverfront along the Huangpu river which until the early 1800's was undeveloped. The British set up their consulate and other buildings there after the Opium War. In the early 1900's, the Bund sprouted up with buildings designed by architects from Britain, France, China, America, Russia, Japan, and others. The Bund is a record of history - displaying a collection of past architecture, many of these buildings were the best in Asia in their time. In the evening the neon lights brighten up the whole bund area making this stretch of the city the most visited in Shanghai - must see for visitor to the city.
