🏛️ Shanghai Historic Buildings: Echoes of the Past

#hellohalloween Shanghai’s skyline isn’t just modern glass towers — the city is dotted with historic buildings that showcase its rich architectural heritage. Along The Bund, admire colonial-era facades with Baroque, Gothic, and neoclassical styles. Don’t miss the Peace Hotel, Customs House, and Huangpu Park surroundings, which reflect the city’s early 20th-century cosmopolitan charm. These landmarks tell Shanghai’s story of trade, culture, and modernization, offering a striking contrast to the futuristic skyline across the Huangpu River. 📍 Where: The Bund & surrounding Huangpu District 🕘 Best Time: Morning or late afternoon for softer light on façades 💡 Tip: Walk the entire Bund promenade to capture different architectural styles and reflections on the river.
