- Attraction Introduction -

Today's Shanghai is a modern metropolis that retains its traditional Chinese charm. The bustling metropolis exudes a unique allure, its blend of modernity and classicism irresistible. The Bund, located on the west bank of the Huangpu River, has been a symbol of Shanghai for over a century. A Huangpu River cruise offers a panoramic view of the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Shanghai International Convention Center, and the three world-class skyscrapers: the Jin Mao Tower, the Shanghai International Financial Center, and the Shanghai Tower. Its vibrant cityscape is truly breathtaking. In 1848, locals used the Bund as a wharf. Soon after, British companies like Jardine Matheson and American firms like Russell & Co. established themselves there, and it gradually became the center of power for the various concessions. The area boasts buildings in Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque styles. A Huangpu River cruise will transport you back to that historically significant era, allowing you to relive the authentic charm of old Shanghai.
