The Bund · A glance that captures 100 years of Shanghai If Shanghai is a weighty book of a city, the Bund is its most splendid cover. Stretching about 1.5 km along the west bank of the Huangpu River, the Bund’s international architectural ensemble features 52 historic buildings side by side—Gothic spires, Baroque arches, Neoclassical colonnades, Art Deco towers… Once the Far East’s busiest financial street, it was hailed as the “Wall Street of the East.”
