[2025 Lufeng Attraction] Travel Guide for The Bund, Shanghai (Updated Jul)

When you see the Bund, Shanghai, you think of the skyscrapers in Pudong and the ships on the Huangpu River. But here, there is an endless beach and a panoramic view of the sea. This is the real Bund, Shanghai. This beach is like a huge aircraft carrier docked on the shore of Lufeng and the Pacific Ocean. The waves are layered and rush towards the beach. They stretch far enough to the beach before retreating back to the sea. In the far sea, layers of waves are generated again. They push the waves in front of them and rush towards the beach without stopping. Then they leave traces of sand and water on the beach, turning into a layer of white foam and disappearing into the fine sand. The waves that have just receded leave a wet beach, which is like a huge crescent mirror, reflecting the figures of people playing in the water. In the swaying, people seem to be in another planet and forget where they are.

🎦 The theme song of the TV series "The Bund" is so familiar that you can hum a few lines just by hearing a few notes! 🎶 Waves surge, waves flow, the endless river never stops, washing away the world's affairs, mixing into a surging tide. 🎶 Is it joy, is it sorrow, the waves can't tell the difference between laughter and sadness, success, failure, the waves can't tell if there is any. 🎶 Love you, hate you, ask if you know, like the river, once it starts, it never stops.
