About The Bund Area
The Bund area encompasses the historic waterfront promenade and the streets immediately behind it. This is where Shanghai's colonial past meets its futuristic present — 1920s Art Deco buildings face off against Pudong's skyline across the river. Luxury hotels dominate, but mid-range options exist a few blocks inland.
