The Bund

Why go

Former banks, a customs house, a newspaper headquarters and grand hotels line the western bank of the Huangpu. Their different facades reveal the working institutions behind the port’s history. Across the water, Lujiazui supplies a striking change of scale, so the same walk combines architectural detail with the wider city view.

What to look for

• The former HSBC dome beside the Customs House clock tower
• Bank, newspaper, club and hotel facades along Zhongshan East First Road
• The Oriental Pearl and the Pudong tower cluster across the river

Useful to know

• Alternate river-facing viewpoints with short stops to inspect the historic facades.
• Use Nanjing Road East as a natural connection to People’s Square.
• Check individual buildings separately before planning an interior visit.
