The Bund, located on the banks of the Huangpu River in Huangpu District, Shanghai, is a historic and cultural district in China. Starting from 1844 (the 24th year of the Qing Dynasty’s Daoguang reign), the Bund area was designated as the British Concession, becoming a true portrayal of Shanghai’s Ten Li Yangchang and the starting point of the old Shanghai Concession and the entire modern city of Shanghai.
The Bund is 1.5 kilometers long, starting from Yan’an East Road in the south, ending at Garden Bridge of Shanghai on the Suzhou River in the north, facing the Huangpu River in the east, and the concentration of financial and foreign trade institutions in old Shanghai in the west. After Shanghai was converted into a commercial port, foreign banks, commercial banks, associations, and newspapers began to gather here, and the Bund became the financial center of the country and even the Far East.
There are 52 classical revival buildings with different styles standing on the Bund, known as the Bund International Architecture Exhibition Group. It is an important historical site and representative building of modern China, and one of the landmarks of Shanghai.
