Traveler reviews
MrMeowPuss
★★★★★a month agoGreat spot for sunset shots of Shanghai. It is somewhat less busy than the main Bund area and gives a slightly different view, it's also fairly easy to walk between the two.

★★★★★6 months agoI visited The Bund on a short trip from Hangzhou, and it took only 36 minutes by high-speed train super convenient and smooth. Tip: Come early in the morning. The sun is still low, the weather feels cooler, and it’s much easier to take photos without harsh light or crowds. The skyline looks softer, more elegant, and the experience feels calmer. Walking along the Bund with the river view on one side and the iconic buildings on the other really reminds you why this place is timeless. Simple, classic, and worth the trip even if you’re coming just for a few hours.
