On the left is the wide Zhongshan East 1st Road, and dozens of foreign buildings with different styles are lined up on the roadside.
Close to the Huangpu River, the mother river of Shanghai, huge ships shuttle across the river, while skyscrapers such as Jinmao Tower and World Financial Center stand on the other side of the river. At night, the neon lights on both sides of Pujiang River are in full bloom, which is suitable for strolling along the Bund with lovers and feeling the charm and romance of "the city that never sleeps".
Introduction to The Bund:
The Bund, located on the Huangpu River in the downtown area of Shanghai, is a scenic spot in Shanghai and a must-see place for tourists visiting Shanghai. The Bund, also known as Zhongshan Dongyi Road, is about 1.5 kilometers long. There are 52 buildings with different styles, such as Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Chinese-Western style, which are adjacent to Huangpu River in the east and are called "World Architecture Expo Group" in the west.
The Bund, also known as Zhongshan Dongyi Road, is about 1.5km long. Located in Puxi, with Huangpu River in the east and 52 buildings with different styles in the west, such as Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Chinese and Western style, it is called "World Architecture Expo Group".
Huangpu River is the largest river flowing through Shanghai, and its source is located in Longwangshan Nature Reserve in Anji, Zhejiang. Because the Huangpu River connects the river with the sea, it is affected by tides, and there are obvious high tides and low tides twice a day on average. The water level difference in one day can reach more than 4 meters. In case of astronomical tide, the water level difference is even greater.
One hundred and fifty years ago, Shanghai was only a medium-sized county town along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and the shipping industry was very underdeveloped. It was unnecessary and impossible for people to build embankments along the river, so most of the riverbanks were natural beaches except the Huangpu River at the East Gate. At low tide, the river stagnates in the center of the river bed, exposing a large beach. At high tide, the river did not cross the river beach. Huangpu River is the main river in Shanghai. Because the river is wide and the water is urgent, ships sailing against the current must pull the fiber to walk. For hundreds of years, the footsteps of trackers have trodden a tortuous path on the Huangpu River beach, which is called the "fiber path", and this fiber path is the earliest road on the Bund. In the customary words of place names in Shanghai, the upper reaches of the river are generally called "Li" and the lower reaches of the river are called "Wai". For example, today, Shanghainese are used to calling Hanyang Bridge on Hongkou Port "Lihongqiao", Changzhi Bridge "Zhonghongqiao" and Daming Bridge "Waihongqiao", which are named according to the location of the river where the bridge is located.
Similarly, the first bridge where Suzhou River enters the Huangpu River today is called "Waibaidu Bridge", and the bridges that go inward in turn are also commonly known as "Libaidu Bridge" (now Zhapu Road Bridge) and Sanbaidu Bridge (now Sichuan Road Bridge). If the county seat is taken as the basis, the place near the city is called "Li" and the place far away from the city is called "Wai", which is the "Lixiangua Street" and "Waixiangua Street" in the downtown area today; "Li Cang Qiao" and "Wai Cang Qiao" were named after this.
The Huangpu River near the county seat of Shanghai forms a sharp bend at the exit of Lujiabang, so Shanghainese take Lujiabang as the boundary, and its upstream is called "Lihuangpu" and its downstream is called "Waihuangpu". The beach in Lihuangpu is called "Lihuangpu Beach" for short, and the beach in Waihuangpu is called "Waihuangpu Beach" for short.
The Bund is located on the Huangpu River in Shanghai. It represents the scenery of Shanghai and is a must-see tourist destination in Shanghai. In the late 2119' s, many foreign banks on the Bund were established in the Bund, which is known as "Finance Street" or "Oriental Wall Street" in Shanghai. Therefore, the Bund has become a place to encourage financial investment. Because of the rich historical value of the Bund, owning a small piece of land on the Bund is not only a sign of wealth, but also a sign of honor.
The section of Huangpu Beach from Baiduqiao to Jinling East Road is known as the "Bund" because it is located outside the county seat of Shanghai. It is the original outline of Shanghai, which was once called Huangpu Road, Yangzi Road and Huangpu Beach Road, and was renamed Zhongshan Dongyi Road in 1945. The Bund used to be a barren shoal, and there was a narrow dirt road along the beach for boatmen to walk when pulling fibers. To the west of the beach is farmland, and there are scattered huts between buildings and ditches. In the 23rd year of Qing Daoguang (1843), before British imperialism opened up the concession in Shanghai, it first designated the river surface along the Bund as the "anchorage section" for its ships. On October 29th, 1845, 831 mu of land to the west of the Bund was classified as British concession through the Shanghai Land Charter. Since then, the colonial authorities have built a British consulate in Li Jiazhuang (also known as Lijiachang, now southwest of Yuanmingyuan Road and a section of beijing east road near the Bund) (now the location of Shanghai Branch of China Travel Agency, No.33 Bund). Soon, foreign firms such as Shaxun, Renji, Baocheng, Qichang and Tianchang appeared in the south of the British Consulate along the Huangpu River. In 1848, the fiber road near the Huangpu River was transformed into a road with a width of 18 meters, and docks, stacks, banks and shipyards were built on the east side of the road. During 1854-1941, more than ten foreign banks and Chinese banks appeared, becoming the financial center of Shanghai and known as "Oriental Wall Street". The houses on the Bund started with two floors and three floors.
since the beginning of this century, due to the development of building technology and the growth of economic strength, there have been many floors and high-rise buildings with various styles, such as English classical, English neoclassical, English Renaissance Asia Building (formerly Shanghai Metallurgical Design Institute), Shanghai General Association (now Dongfeng Hotel), HSBC Building (formerly Shanghai People's Government Building), Qihe Building (now Foreign Trade Bureau Building), French classical and French. It starts from the Waibaidu Bridge at Suzhou Estuary in the north and ends at Jinling East Road in the south, with a total length of about 1,711 meters. No matter from afar or wandering around, you can feel a vigorous, vigorous, graceful and luxurious momentum.
Most of the Bund buildings we see now have been rebuilt, but the basic style remains unchanged. Before the National Day in 1992, the first phase of comprehensive renovation of the Bund was completed. The current flood control wall on the Bund is a corridor-shaped, 6.9 meters high and 15.4 meters wide, which can resist the once-in-a-thousand tide. More than 311 cars can be parked in the compartment, and the surface of the compartment is a green scenic spot and a sidewalk along the river. The road surface is twice as wide as before, with 8 lanes faster and 2 lanes slower. The Bund has always been a tourist hotspot in Shanghai. In addition to the rare "World Architecture Expo" at home and abroad, you can also enjoy the richness of Waibaidu Bridge and Wusong Road Gate Bridge, the ingenuity of Huangpu Park, the ingenuity of flood control wall design, and the scenery of buildings and rivers. The night tour in Pujiang is more interesting. In addition, the traffic here is developed, shopping is convenient, historical anecdotes are rich, and tourist facilities are complete, which makes people linger.
The Bund is the most famous landscape of this oriental metropolis. It starts from Zhongshan No.1 Road in the east, Waibaidu Bridge in the north and Jinling East Road in the south. Facing the open mother river-Huangpu River, it is backed by buildings with rigorous shapes and different styles. Because of its unique geographical location and its influence on Shanghai and even China in the field of economic activities in the past century, it has very rich cultural connotations. The street view outside the river beach, Changti, green belts and even beautiful buildings is the most distinctive Shanghai landscape.
Shanghai Bund was once the political, economic, commercial and cultural center of western powers in Shanghai. At that time, consulates of various countries were mostly concentrated here, and the Bund was also the base camp of international financial capital in China. In addition, there is the Shanghai General Association, a senior club of western businessmen, and the building of the British Asia Oil Company.
