We were only told when our guide collected us from our hotel and told us we can't see anything. We drove through it and you can see some of the facades but most of it is hidden behind cranes, hoardings, etc This looks like it will go on for quite a few months. Our guide suggested an alternative - a... more

Went to the Bund area recently (June 09) and the entire riverbank is SEALED OFF due to a major construction project. Tried taking pictures of the Pudong skyline. Got some nice dusty construction equipment in the foreground. You used to be able to take an underground tunnel to cross over to the riverbank where you could get some nice pictures.... more

The Bund is a joy, one of the world's great promenades and worth every accolade earlier reviewers have given it. But as of this writing (April 2009) I am subtracting two stars because it is in the middle of a giant construction project. As I understand from the Pudong government web page, the city is burying half of the... more

The Bund is a symbol of Shanghai and an epitome of Shanghai's modern history. From the Oriental Pearl TV Tower you can see the Bund. When night falls, colourful lights illuminate the whole Bund area and turn it into a scene of the" wonderland". more

When I think of Shanghai, I think of The Bund on the Pu-Xi side looking across at the Disney'esque future world of Pu-Dong. This was the first spot that I hit when I arrived in Shanghai and have to say the view lived up to my expectations and left me in awe. The view is almost surreal and personally, I... more

It starts from the Baidu Bridge, which is at the connecting point of the Huangpu River and the Suzhou Creek,... more

The Bund is one of THE sights to see if you visit Shanghai. Perfect for strolling and people-watching, it offers great views of Huangpu River traffic, the modern skyscrapers of Pudong, and is adjacent to touristy shopping mecca Nanjing Road. Bring a camera: day or night you will capture a magical shot. This is also the area where you can... more

Saw The Bund while taking an evening cruise on Huangpu River. When you get on the boat, make sure you stay at the open air deck - doesn't matter where you sit coz the boat turns around anyway and you'll get to see both sides of the river. The buildings here are spectacular - European looking. And it's nicer to... more
