Located at the banks of the Huangpu River between Waibaidu Bridge and
Nanpu Bridge, the New Bund has a total length of 4 kilometers. It rests against
the Huangpu River on the east and a row of 52 unique buildings integrating the
Oriental and Occidental architectural styles on the west, generally known as
“buildings in multinational styles of architecture”, which, for over a century,
has remained a symbol of Shanghai. At night when the floodlights of the
buildings are switched on at the same time, the buildings look exactly like
crystal palaces, which, set off by the Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower
on the east bank of the Huangpu River, are even more brilliant and dazzling. The
New Bund is reputed to be one of the “Ten Best Scenic Spots of Shanghai”.
