To understand Shanghai, start with its nostalgic yet modern Shanghai-style architecture

The silhouette of the Bund's buildings outlines the unique Shanghai-style charm. The uneven skyline of diverse Chinese and Western architectural styles 🏢 silently narrates the most thrilling stories of the past century. Located in the central section of the Bund, facing the Huangpu River 🌊 and Lujiazui Financial Trade District 🏙️, the Customs House always stands out the most. Built in 1927 and designed by British architect Wilson, the building features an eclectic style combining Greek classical and modern architecture. The clock tower has circular clock faces on all four sides, each composed of 12-angled diamond patterns. The Customs Clock 🕙 is a sister clock to London's famous Big Ben and is now one of the world's most renowned clocks. Besides the Customs House, the Bund is lined with buildings of various styles, including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classical, Renaissance, and Sino-Western fusion. 🗺️ Recommended Tour Route: Bund Origin (Yuanmingyuan Road) — Waibaidu Bridge — Huangpu Park — Bund Historical Memorial Hall and People's Heroes Monument — Chen Yi Square — Financial Square — Yan'an Road Bund Signal Tower Square — Jinling East Road Ferry Crossing — Lujiazui, Pudong Tips: 🔘 Seven classic historical buildings along the Bund are open to the public for free with prior reservation.
