Shanghai is a modern city now. But on the Bund you can still see the old buildings, which were built by the Europeans. These highrise-buildings were meant to be supermodern hundred years ago. Leave a Comment

The Bund and River Huang Pu
The symbol of Shanghai and NO.1 sightseeing choice of Shanghai.
The Bund, associated with the River Huang Pu, divides Shanghai into east part and west part.
The area in the west side of River Huang Pu is called as Pu Xi, which is also the old town of Shanghai. Most tourist attractions are gathered in Pu Xi.
The east side of River Huang Pu is called as Pu Dong, which is the new town of Shanghai. Hundreds of financial giants are developing their business in Pu Dong. The whole Pu Dong area is most likely being the financial centre of China and would recur to the honour of the Wall Street of Fast East again one day.
Take a stroll on the Bund in the daylight and night, you would see two different Shanghai. There is only one thing is in common, both of them are gorgeous.

This is new to me. China?! Don't you think this looks more like a Manhattan skyline than our impression of what China looks like? Flabbergasted is the word! Leave a Comment

The Bund and the bank of Huangpu River
The Bund, which extends from Jinling Road in the south to the Waibaidu Bridge over the Suzhou Creek in the north, is on the western bank of the Huangpu River. It is a 1.5-kilometer boulevard and used to be called the Huangpu Shoal. It used to be a 10-meter-wide boulevard lined with canopy-like sycamores. Cedars, cassias, and camphor trees made the street green all the year round. Flower beds were always in blossoms. Now it becomes the favored place for the tourists to tarry and enjoy the river scene and cultural activities going on along the Bund. Walking up to the dam, you will be fascinated by the sight of forest of masts, the glittering waves, the impressive skyline, and shadowy trees interlacing with beautiful flowers. It is just like a magnificent scroll. Leave a Comment

Pay attention to the clash of three cultures: the european of end of XIX century, the Chinese itself and our current one, global, almost histerical architecture of the New Shanghai
|
The “Face Off” the clash of generation of the old verus the New. The co-existence of past, present and future of the Shanghai.
On the original shanghai side, situates the 19th colonial control old shanghai bound, filled with classical British architectures, an immediate sense of the glorious past. The Pu Dong side is the modern Shanghai, which spawned up almost over night. It includes much future-realistic architecture such as “Don Fang Tower” and World’s 3rd highest building “Jin Mao Tower”. The old and new are positioned face to face in a show down of history and architecture brilliance. This scenery is best experienced at night, as the climatically point after a walk on something road.

The BUND
Every evening until 10PM this renowned avenue is bathed in dazzling illumination. I could keep trying to describe it but I think the photo speaks for itself.
