Took the biggest boat available for this activity. It cost RM70 per person. This boat offer 5 deck all together. Had to pay another RM60 per person to seat next to the railing on the top deck. This to ensure total access to view the night scenery of Shanghai without having to push around with other crowd. By paying the extra RM60, you are also being served with 2 soft drinks and 3 packets of nuts. A traditional live band also playing endless classic chinese tune all along the cruise.
Another activitiy not to be missed in Shanghai. Great view of Shanghai at night. The syncronization of lightings amazed all of my group members, even others.
One thing that really caught our eyes is that Malaysia Airline also participate in promoting Malaysia by placing a billboard along the river.
A MUST DO activity in Shanghai. Directions: 1 block west of Lujiazui Station (Metro Line 2)

 The View of PuDong from the
Bund by MaosRedArmy
The Bund has been regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years, is less than one mile in length, and is a popular desitnation for tourists.
Walking along the Bund at night is a fascinating site, as the entire PuDong skyline (across the river) is illuminated, including the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the 2nd tallest building in the world - Jin Mao Tower.
And directly across Zhongshan Road, you will see many different types of structures from Old Shanghai, including: Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and Renaissance.
NOTE: BRING YOUR CAMERA...... Leave a Comment

 Shanghai Bund by yipsufen
I would recommend a boat cruise, where you can get an unobstructed view of both old & new Shanghai along the coastline. Get ready yourself extra pack of batteries / memory card to avoid any disappointments. Go straight up to the upper deck of boat & pick a nice seat at the side of the boat. If you do not have a tripod, simply rest your camera on the boat railing and you will be able to capture satisfactory night scenes of Shanghai. Beware not to drop your camera into the water !

 The Bund Sight-seeing Tunnel by yipsufen
The experience is like sitting in a time machine capsule or space travel. Colourful lights will be projected on the wall of tunnel as the full transparent carriage you are in moving forward, narrating to you the brief history of Shanghai. Leave a Comment Phone: 58886000

So the sensitivity remains, towards the foreign powers and foreigners. There is begrudging recognition that it was this era that created a global powerhouse to rival any city in the world, but also bitterness that it was built on the blood, sweat and tears of generations of Chinese men, women and children. Shanghai has long forgotten dialectics, but this one remains architecturally lodged in their city.
It is also quite telling that when you walk along The Bund, today's Shanghai folk are looking out at the river and the Shanghai facade they built on their own on the other side of the Huangpu; few look up at the beautiful old buildings behind them.
Regardless of the sentiments, The Bund is a beautiful cityscape, and one which is best taken slowly, several times - walking along the thin stretch of park, comparing the old with the new. Leave a Comment

 The Bund at night by AmareyuiLeave a Comment

 by mke1963
As a quick guide, from south to north, the key reference buildings are:
- Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (big cupola - ex-HSBC HQ)
- Shanghai Customs House (big clock tower)
- China Foreign Exchange Bank (small French white baroque building)
- Peace Hotel (green 'pyramid' dome - ex Cathay Hotel)
- Bank of China (huge slab-sided building next to Peace Hotel)
- Broadway Mansions (on north side of Suzhou Creek, looking down The Bund)
Many seem to suggest that the best view of The Bund is from the river, but I find that this is not true. The lower parts of the buildings are obscured by the huge concrete levy. Just walk up and down the street! Leave a Comment

 The Bund from the Oriental
Pearl Tower by Travelchili
The Bund (or Zhongshan Road) is situated at the western shore of the Huangpu River. It is only 1500 meters long, however, there are many magnificent buildings standing next to one another. The Bund used to be a center of economy, culture and politics hundreds of years ago. Nowadays it's still a center of culture and nightlife, however, the business sector of the city has been moved to Pudong. Leave a Comment Directions: 1 block west of Lujiazui Station (Metro Line 2)

The Peace Hotel remains one of the most popular hotel among foreign visitors because of its European interior setting. Walking into the dimly lit lobby from the chaotic city life, sitting down on a comfortable sofa while sipping in some fine tea can make the most wearied traveler feels right at home.

 The Bund by iwys
Bund is a term that was used in the British Empire for a muddy, waterfront embankment, and although this was not technically a part of that empire, the British had controlled a concession in this part of Shanghai since the Opium War of 1842.
So, it's not surprising that the British-designed buildings along the Bund are often likened to those of Manchester or Liverpool. The most impressive of these buildings is the domed Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank building, completed in 1921. Now, however, with the British long since gone, it belongs to the Pudong Development Bank.
On warm summer nights, thousands of promenaders throng the Bund, and river cruises afford spectacular views of the illuminated buildings. Leave a Comment Directions: On the west bank of the Huangpu River
