The Bund (Waitan)

The Bund, known locally as Waitan, is a historic waterfront strip in Shanghai, stretching for 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) along the west shore of the Huangpu River. This area is distinguished by its collection of colonial-era buildings, which stand as a testament to the city’s international past. A pedestrian-friendly promenade invites visitors to stroll and take in the architectural heritage, while also offering panoramic views of both the Bund and the modern skyline of Pudong across the river.
