The Bund dazzling views + energy

The Bund (embankment or embanked quay) refers to the waterfront area in Central Shanghai, “outer beach” centered on Zhongshan Road, within the former Shanghai International Settlement. The area across from the Huangpu River contains modern supertall skycrpaers of Lujiazui Pudong District and serves as a dramatic view day or night. Building heights are restricted on The Bund to maintain the scale and character of this most famous area. Eclectic architecture on The Bund includes Romanesque Revival, Gothic Revival, Renaissance Revival, Baroque Revival,  Beaux-Arts and Art Deco.
