Introduction
The Bund (Waitan) is a historic waterfront district in central Shanghai, stretching about 1.5 km along the western bank of the Huangpu River in Huangpu District. It is famed for its collection of over 50 buildings in varied architectural styles—Gothic, baroque, neoclassical, and French classical—dating back a century, forming a striking skyline that faces the modern towers of Pudong across the river. Visitors come for the riverside promenade, panoramic views of Lujiazui, and landmarks such as Huangpu Park and the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel.
