The Bund has been a symbol of Shanghai since a hundred years. It begins with the Waibaidu Bridge at the estuary of Suzhou Creek in the north and ends at Jinling Road in the south, with a total length of 1,500m.

The vast Huagpu River and the beautiful new embankment are on the east of the Bund. Here tourists can enjoy the beauty of Shanghai mother river - the Huangpu River - and the new looks of Lujiazui (one of the most prosper part in Shanghai) in Pudong district on the opposite bank. Here visitors can take a walk amidst luxuriant plants and blooming flowers, appreciate the landscaping of a garden in a bustling metropolis and enjoy the fresh air and bright sunshine rarely found amidst the hustle and bustle of a city. The section extending from the new Bund to Nanpu Bridge is called the Southern Bund, which will be into a new financial and business zone.

On the Bund is group of building known as "a Gallery of world architecture". These buildings were built respectively during the 20s and 40s of the 20th century with different architectural styles but were well harmonized. The buildings are all decorated with floodlights. At night, the Bund is brightly lit, glittering and dazzling to the eye. It is the symbol and mark of Shanghai.
