Huangpu River is reputed as the "Mother River" of Shanghai and has given birth to the city's splendid modem history. The Bund occupies a sector at its west bank.As the essence of Shanghai's over-a-hundred-year-history, the Bund is always the first priority to visitors.

The distinctive buildings along the Bund are of various styles and have won the reputation of "the Architecture Expo". Renowned international banks stand side by side and constitute the "Oriental Wall Street". With its 10 scenic spots that can be traced back to over a hundred years ago, such as "Moonlight on the Bund" and "the Lovers'Wall", the Bund has now become a public recreational area full of romance.

The changes of Shanghai from a coastal village to an international cosmopolis have been vividly recorded by the Bund, which combines well the eastern and western cultural essence and reflects a timeless fascination.
