📜 From Shanghai’s opening as a treaty port in 1843, to the heyday of the ‘Wall Street of the Far East’ in the early 20th century, and on to today’s financial and cultural landmarks, the Bund architecture has always stood at the forefront of urban development and changing times.
🌆 Visit classic Bund landmarks along the way, look back through architectural details at the rise and changes of the ‘ten-mile foreign settlement’, and feel the urban development and pulse of modern Shanghai. After the tour ends, the group will disperse on site at No. 1 on the Bund, and you may continue to explore the surrounding area at your own pace.
