The Bund is one of THE sights to see if you visit Shanghai. Perfect for strolling and people-watching, it offers great views of Huangpu River traffic, the modern skyscrapers of Pudong, and is adjacent to touristy shopping mecca Nanjing Road. Bring a camera: day or night you will capture a magical shot. This is also the area where you can purchase tickets for a boat ride.

I do agree with the previous reviewer though in that there are A LOT of aggressive beggers and salespeople (selling everything from fake Rolexes to poorly made toys). However, they are not as bad as on Nanjing Road and I didn't encounter those pesky "art students" here.

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.
