Saw The Bund while taking an evening cruise on Huangpu River. When you get on the boat, make sure you stay at the open air deck - doesn't matter where you sit coz the boat turns around anyway and you'll get to see both sides of the river.

The buildings here are spectacular - European looking. And it's nicer to see at night.

This is our third time to Shanghai, but the first time asking our driver to take us on a night tour of the area. We were not disappointed.

We were traveling on the west side of the river(The Bund side) and the view was breath taking . The dirver offered to ake us to the other side of the river to see the Bund from the Pudong area but as it was getting late , we decided not to. We did not stop to take pictures as it may take some professional equipment to do justice for the night scene.

This is one tour that one should consider in the evening.

The Bund is something that you must visit on your trip to Shanghai, however, I was somewhat dissapointed at the volume and aggressiveness of the beggars. As soon as my taxi came to a halt it was surrounded by people wanting to sell me a watch or asking for money. One guy actually followed me down the street trying to shine my shoes as I walked. Aside from this irritation, it's a great place for pictures and sight-seeing
