The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.
The Bund (Wai Tan)
The Bund (
simplified Chinese:
外滩;
traditional Chinese:
外灘;
Shanghainese: nga
3thae
1;
Mandarin pinyin: Wàitān) is a waterfront area in central
Shanghai. The area centres on a section of
Zhongshan Road (East-1 Zhongshan Road) within the former
Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the
Huangpu River, facing
Pudong, in the eastern part of
Huangpu 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
this area.
