The Bund
The Bund is the most intuitive space for understanding Shanghai’s urban development: the approximately 1.5-kilometer Huangpu River Trail faces the modern skyline of Pudong, with former banks, banks, and public buildings scattered behind it. Walking along the river towards Waibaidu Bridge, you can understand modern Shanghai from the relationship between river transportation, finance and architecture, rather than just taking a night view photo.

Practical notes
It's suitable for observing architectural details during the day, and at night you can watch the lights on both sides of the river. The passenger flow along the riverside is very large during holidays; public ferries are an economical way to cross the river, while commercial cruises are independent products with different routes and fares.
