The Bund, also called the Zhongshan Road, is a famous waterfront and regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years.
It starts from the BaiduBridge, which is at the connecting point of the HuangpuRiver and the Suzhou Creek, to the East Jinling Road and winds a 1500 meters (less than one mile) length. It has always been the center of Shanghai’s political, economic, financial, business and cultural life. Most foreign consulates, banks, businesses and newspaper offices are located here.
The Bund starts at the BaiduBridge over the Suzhou Creek to the north and ends at East Jinling Road in the south. Altogether 52 various buildings of different architectural styles stand along it, including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classical and Renaissance. Although these buildings were designed by different architects and built at different times, together they form an impressive architectural pattern.
Walking along the Bund, which is at the west shore of the HuangpuRiver, you can see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower on the opposite side and also the Jin Mao Tower. Being one of the Top Ten Shanghai Attractions, the Bund is a really special place for visiting. The newly-built Flood Control Bank takes the function of preventing the oversize flood; the square with the statue of Marshal Chen Yi is an open air podium which gives new views of the Shanghai Plaza Culture; the Cenotaph which stands on the man-made island is a monument of people’s heroes; the riverside greenbelt, the Electronic Waterfall Bell, and the Great Mural Carving are all representatives of the Bund.

I live in Shanghai and I love the bund .
