The Bund
The Bund is a symbol of Shanghai. The best attraction of the Bund lies
in its blocks of antique and graceful buildings. They were not
designed by the same architect nor built at the same times, yet they
harmonise in architectural tone and the outlines were treated so
co-ordinately that no matter you walk in front of them or look at them
in a distance, they all present you an air dignity, elegance,
magnificence and strength.
