The Bund (Wai Tan) in Shanghai, China
The Bund or Waitan is a waterfront area in central Shanghai. The area centers on a section of Zhongshan Road within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the eastern part of Huangpu District. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in the Pudong District. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai. Building heights are restricted in the area.
Why is the Bund so famous?
Coming to Shanghai and missing the Bund is like visiting Beijing and bypassing the Forbidden City or the Great Wall. The Bund is the iconic landmark of Shanghai and the area around the Bund is the tourist center of Shanghai and is the city’s most famous mile.
What impress travelers most should be the 52 buildings with various international architectural styles which makes the Bund “An Exhibition of International Buildings”. There is no doubt that the Bund is the fusion of Western and Chinese Culture, an epitome of Shanghai’s history, and a great place to explore Shanghai’s today and see the future of Shanghai.
The word bund means an embankment or an embanked quay. The word comes from the Persian word band, through Hindustani, meaning an embankment, levee or dam.
There are numerous sites in India, China, and Japan that are called bunds (e.g., the Yokohama Bund). However, The Bund, without qualification to location, usually refers to this stretch of embanked riverfront in Shanghai.
The Chinese name for the Bund is unrelated in meaning: it means literally the outer bank, referring to the Huangpu River, because this part of the riverfront was located farther downstream than the inner bank area adjacent to the old walled city of Shanghai.
History of Shanghai Bund
The name “Bund” in Anglo-Indian term means “the embankment of a muddy waterfront”. To know Shanghai, you must come to Shanghai Bund. Before the 1840s, Shanghai was a small seaside town and the Bund was once a muddy towpath for boats along Huangpu River. After First Opium War in 1842, Shanghai began to be an open port and later the Bund was the first settlement of Great Britain. Many foreign powers entered Shanghai and erected their distinct Western-style banks and trading houses from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as the consulates of Russia and Britain, etc. In the later of 19th Century and 20th Century, Shanghai grew into Asia’s leading city, a cosmopolitan and thriving commercial and financial center. Known as “Oriental Wall Street”, the Bund was a historical miniature of colonial-era Shanghai.
Recommended Visiting Route
Travelers could visit the Bund either from north to south or from south to north. It is recommended to walk along the Bund which takes 1-2 hours.
At the northern end of the Bund, on the north bank of Suzhou Creek, rises the brick pile of Broadway Mansions, Russian Consulates, Astor House Hotel. Head south over Waibaidu Bridge and turn west to walk along Suzhou Creek until you reach the area known as the Back Bund. You won’t miss the Union Church which dates to 1885. Behind the church, you can catch a glimpse of the Former British Consulate and gardens, the first foreign building to go up in Shanghai. Follow to a row of beautiful old buildings, beginning with the Gothamesque China Baptist Publication Building. Turn left on Beijing East Road and head back towards to the Bund waterfront. Then, head down Zhongshan East Road to see Jardine Matheson, Bank of China, and Peace Hotel. Reach Promenade to catch good view of the Pudong skyline. Continue to head down to see North China Daily News, Customs House, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Shanghai Club, etc. Just across the street is the 49 meter tall Meteorogical Signal Tower, originally built in 1908 opposite the French Consulate. Later, you’ll reach Yan’an Road which marks the end of the walk.
Day Views
Exploring the Bund in the daytime is quite different from that in the evening. From very early in the morning, before tourists gather here, local Shanghai people come to the riverbank to enjoy walking, jogging, doing exercises and flying kites.

Shanghai World Financial Center observation deck Shanghai China

The Shanghai World Financial Center is a supertall skyscraper located in the Pudong district of Shanghai, China. When the building topped out in 2007 at 1,614 feet (492 meters), it became the 8th tallest building in the world.
The most distinctive feature of SFWC is its trapezoid aperture found at the peak of the building. The main purpose of the aperture is to reduce stresses of wind pressure.
The Shanghai World Financial Center features three observation decks: 94th floor (1,388 ft/423 m), 97th floor (1,440 ft/439 m), and 100th floor (1,555 ft/474 m).
Just next door to SFWC are two other supertall skyscrapers: Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China.

Yuyuan Garden In Shanghai | China（上海 - 豫园）

GoPro (POV): My Last Week in Shanghai, China (上海, 中国)
Hi Everyone! I'm Shaun from Davao City, Philippines and I lived in Shanghai for a year and a half to study Mandarin. Going to China was definitely one of the best decisions I’ve had. I made a lot of friends, learned to live by myself and became more mature. Living in a modern and fast-paced city is so different from my hometown. In Shanghai, people walk very fast and always seem to be in a rush. Everything in Shanghai is super fast and convenient, with the use of Alipay or Wechat, you can pay for everything through your phone. You can even use your digital watch to pay or use face scan. Crazy right? From transportation to buying stuff on TaoBao, to sending money and splitting bills with friends life is easier especially if you don't need to bring a wallet. On my last week in Shanghai, I decided to buy a GoPro and film some of my favorite places, food, milk tea, and just the usual things I do in Shanghai. I hope you find inspiration in this video and have the chance to visit Shanghai. Thank You for watching!

The Temple of Heaven and Tiantan Park in Beijing (China)
Beijing, China.
Visit to the Temple of Heaven and the Tiantan Park.
The Temple of Heaven and Tiantan Park are located in southern Dongcheng District and it's possible to enter from 4 gates (East, West, North and South Gates).
The through ticket cost 34 CNY and it included the 3 scenic spots: the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Echo Wall and the Circular Mound Altar.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a circular building and it was built on three levels of marble stone. It's where the Emperor prayed for the good harvests.
The Echo Wall has a perimeter of 193 meters. The wall is flat and it allows the sound waves to pass smoothly. If there are two people standing at the opposite side of the wall and one person whispers some words, the other one will be able to hear it.
The Circular Mound Altar is a circular stone altar. Every year on the day of the winter solstice during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911) the emperors would offer sacrifice to Heaven.
