I finally figured out how to enjoy the Bund after 5 visits...

Must-visit attractions • World Architecture Expo: Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque buildings such as Bund 18 and Bund 3 carry the history of Shanghai. Learn about the background in advance to appreciate the charm. • Peace Hotel: Once the "No. 1 Building in the Far East," you can visit or enjoy afternoon tea to experience the old Shanghai style. • Waibaidu Bridge: A filming location for "Romance in the Rain," it's a great place to take panoramic photos of the Bund and wedding photos. • Monument to the People's Heroes: The monument combines Chinese architectural rhythm. The sunken square is a place to pay tribute to the martyrs, and the walls are engraved with revolutionary history. • The Source of the Bund: The starting point of the Bund, it has some of the earliest historical buildings. Tour suggestions • Sightseeing: Take Metro Line 2 or 10 to East Nanjing Road Station, then walk along Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street to the Bund viewing platform to enjoy the view of both sides of the Huangpu River. • Photography: The steps on the opposite side are great for taking night photos of the Bund. Turn on the flash. Zhapu Road Bridge is a great place to enjoy the Oriental Pearl Tower and take stunning photos. • Cruise: Take a cruise on the Huangpu River to enjoy the beautiful scenery and light show on both sides, and feel the prosperity and romance. Food recommendations • Ji Chang Xing: Near the Peace Hotel, it's famous for Jiangnan delicacies such as crab roe xiaolongbao. Each branch has its own characteristics. • Zhuang Shi Long Xing: Recommended dishes include crab roe noodles, xiaolongbao, and fried pork chops. • Hua Dian Butterfly Pastry: Located in the First Department Store, it tastes like the International Hotel's butterfly pastry, crispy and delicious. • Qing Jia Mu Ningbo Cuisine: The braised pork and beef short ribs are excellent, making it a great place for gatherings. • Dian Niu: A specialty beef sour soup hot pot, you can try a variety of Yunnan cuisine.
