The Bund Shanghai | Walking Through History and Architecture Along the Riverfront 上海外滩｜沿黄浦江走近上海的历史建筑

The Bund is widely regarded as the birthplace of modern Shanghai and remains one of the city's most iconic landmarks. In this video, we take a walking journey along the waterfront, exploring a series of historic buildings including the HSBC Building, Shanghai Customs House, the Peace Hotel, the Bank of China Building, and Waibaidu Bridge. Through their architectural styles, construction periods, and historical context, these landmarks reveal how different eras have shaped the city’s identity. Standing by the river, the contrast becomes clear: on one side, the enduring facades of the Bund; on the other, the ever-growing skyline of Lujiazui. Time does not stand still here—it continues to unfold, layer by layer, across the city. If you’re visiting Shanghai, the Bund is a place best experienced on foot.
