Stroll along The Bund (Wai Tan) to become one with Shanghai's bustling crowds and take in views of the city's glittering skyline. The buildings lining this waterfront walk represent a broad variety of architectural styles, such as Gothic, Baroque, and Beaux-Arts. Take photos at the flood-control wall affectionately called the Lovers Wall and in front of the famous skyscrapers, including the Pearl Tower, whose pillars and spheres pierce the sky.

  The Bund in illumination at night is a breathtaking view with many beautiful architecture of the buildings along the waterfront and the illuminated buildings at the opposite bank.  more »

  Probably the most important and must-visit site in Shanghai, especially at night as the light nights are stunning. Although it gets pretty crowded and you may have to squeeze through to find a space, it is very worth it as you can enjoy the stunning Shanghai skyline, including the World’s Second tallest building. It may be hard to get a nice photo spot but patience is important.

  Worth the stop for sights, people watching and a waterside stool. I recommend you make a point to visit at multiple times during the day. Morning shows off the working status of the river - barges and cargo. Evening shows off light shows from both the buildings as well as boats. A must visit for any stop in Shanghai.
