The Bund, Waterfront promenade in Shanghai, China
The Bund extends along the western bank of Huangpu River for 1500 meters, presenting a collection of 26 colonial buildings with European architectural designs.
During the period from 1860 to 1930, The Bund operated as a protected treaty port, hosting international banks and trading houses from Britain, France, and United States.
The waterfront area displays diverse architectural elements, including Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque Revival, Neo-Classical, Beaux-Arts, and Art Deco structures.
Visitors can reach The Bund through Metro Lines 2 and 10, while ferry services provide transportation across Huangpu River to the Pudong district.
The buildings along The Bund contain one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco architecture worldwide, representing Shanghai's commercial development in the early 20th century.
