One word! Amazing! If you're an architecture lover, your eyes will be feasting on a parade of european art deco buildings in its finest. The architecture itself are superb, but how it blends with the surroundings city and the river in its opposite end is what mesmerizing. Visit this place at night for best viewing.

The highlight is a "mini Shanghai". Also there are lots of historical pictures showing the now modern city way back in the beginning of the century. There are other historical parts to the exhibit but the Mini Shanghai and mini airports are quite interesting.

The bund means Shanghai's today and past. The buildings can tell you a lot about the past of Shanghai. Today, you can find the most premier hotels, restaurants and retail stores there. Take a walk and have a drink on the top of these historical buildings is a must for your trip to Shanghai.

If you want to have a basic cultural tour in Shanghai, The Bund and XintianDi are a must! I don't recommend you to buy souvenirs from there - they are so expensive, and you never know the real price - they always ask foreigners for a lot of money. (For souvernirs go to Yu yuan Garden - 豫园 in Chinese,... More

The architecture of the past, on one side of the river and the dramatic contast of the New China in the Pudong district make this a great example of balancing the city skyline.

I walked the entire length on the Bund, either end was good because the crowds were less but in the middle near Nanjing road it was a frigging nightmare. Nothing to do but take photos of the Finance tower and the Pearl Tower.

We were there at night and ride the Cruise along the Bund and it was spectacular. Things that I don't really enjoy is people like to push and they don't tolerate with you. Went again in the morning to see a different view. As I mention it was nice.
