The Bund (Waitan) isn’t just a tourist attraction — it’s the beating heart of Shanghai, where colonial grandeur meets modern skyline, and where every step tells a story.
This isn’t just another “hotel near The Bund” guide — this is your 内部人士手册, written by someone who’s walked its promenade at sunrise, captured its neon glow at night, and navigated its alleys so you don’t have to. Whether you’re here for a quick photo op or an immersive cultural experience, we’ll show you exactly how to make the most of your visit — all within minutes of your hotel.
🏛️ Why The Bund Is More Than Just a Scenic Walkway
The Bund is not merely a collection of beautiful buildings — it’s a living museum of Shanghai’s history, resilience, and ambition. Stretching along the western bank of the Huangpu River, it’s lined with 52 historic buildings that once housed banks, trading houses, and consulates — many now repurposed as luxury hotels, museums, and upscale boutiques.
📜 A Brief History: From Colonial Hub to Modern Marvel
- 1840s–1940s: The Bund was the epicenter of foreign trade and finance in Shanghai, earning the nickname “the Wall Street of the East.”
- 1950s–1990s: Many buildings fell into disrepair, but preservation efforts began in the 1990s.
- 2000s–Present: The Bund has been revitalized, becoming a symbol of Shanghai’s global ambitions — where the past and future coexist in perfect harmony.
🚶♀️ How to Get There: A 5-Minute Walk from Your Hotel
You don’t need a taxi, a metro ride, or even a map — The Bund is just a 5-minute walk from your hotel.
🗺️ Your Walking Route:
- Exit Yuehui Plaza via the main entrance on Shandong Middle Road.
- Turn left and walk towards the river — you’ll see the iconic colonial buildings ahead.
- Follow the promenade — you can walk north to the Waibaidu Bridge or south to the Lujiazui skyline.
✅ 专业提示: If you’re feeling lazy, hop on Line 2 at East Nanjing Road Station (just steps from your hotel) and get off at Lujiazui Station — then take the ferry back across the river for a stunning view of The Bund at night.
