A trip to China - Day 10 - A day in Shanghai, sort of - The Bund


The Bund

This was from the land side, after having seen it at night with all the lights, this time it was during the day, and particularly interesting in that the colonial architecture was really fascinating considering their location, but not surprising give Shanghai's history.



The Bund waterfront is about two kilometres long and impossible to cover in the time allowed for this part of the tour.



There was just enough time to get photos of the waterfront and the old buildings.



Some of these buildings had odd shapes, like one on the far right that looks like a bottle opener.
  


And, for some odd reason, a bull.



On the other side of the water, the sights that had been quite colourful the night before, were equally impressive though somewhat diminished by the haze.
