The Bund (Waitan) is the colonial-era district of
Shanghai China that is home to a wonderful collection of old European style
buildings. Located on the east side of the Huangpu River, a picturesque
pedestrian promenade runs along the waterfront attracting thousand of
Shanghai residents and visitors from China and abroad.
Across the river from the Bund, one can see the ultramodern financial
district with its modern hotels and massive towers. Visitors can enjoy
a sightseeing cruise down the river or simply enjoy watching the marine
traffic.
The Bund is one of the top 10 tourist attractions in Shanghai, China's
largest city.
