[2025 Lufeng Attraction] Travel Guide for Shanghai Bund (Lufeng) (Updated Nov)

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.

#OverseasTravel Get off at Oriental Pearl Tower Station on Line 2 and walk for 10 minutes. Buses 123 and 71 are available. By car, take Zhongshan East Road → Nanjing East Road. Parking is free (10 yuan per hour). Must-see attractions include the Huangpu River nightscape, the colonial architecture of 18th Street on the Bund, and the breathtaking night view from the Oriental Pearl Tower Observatory. The best time to visit is during golden hour (7:00 PM–10:00 PM), when the lights come on after sunset. Caution: Avoid weekends when crowds are high, be sure to bring your ID (some observatories require it), and be wary of local scams (when dealing with street vendors). For culinary delights, we recommend the Shanghai specialty fresh buns, the Suzhou Sanbai Su (Yangjiangpi), and the Huangpu River tuna buffet. The Bund is a representative landmark of Shanghai, where a century-old financial district coexists with a modern skyline. It is the place where the colors of the night sky are most beautiful.

After three years of extensive renovation, its vintage charm has been brilliantly revived. Located at the famous intersection of the Bund and bustling Nanjing Road, it is an excellent spot to experience Shanghai’s enchanting vibe and vitality. ~ Standing by the Huangpu River for over a century with its classic architectural style and rich historical value, it was once hailed as the "Number One Building in the Far East." #As China’s first world-renowned hotel, the Peace Hotel’s story is also the story of Shanghai The Peace Hotel is truly a symbol, a legend. No matter how time changes, the stories this hotel holds will never fade. This is the Shanghai Peace Hotel with a 90-year history. Jazz bands, cheongsam-clad ladies, subtle makeup, the thick Shanghai dialect saying “I help you just now…” The soft laughter clinking glasses, and the well-groomed gentlemen with slicked-back hair and leather shoes. This is the refinement and elegance of Shanghai, a sophisticated atmosphere you can still find at the Peace Hotel today. This building, over 100 years old, has witnessed the changes in modern Shanghai and China, hiding many little-known stories behind it 💁‍♀️ In 1909, countries including China, Britain, the US, and France held the International Opium Commission here. In 1911, Sun Yat-sen passed through Shanghai on his way to Nanjing to become the provisional president of the Republic of China and attended a welcoming ceremony here, where he famously said, “The revolution has not yet succeeded; comrades must continue to work hard.” In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling held their engagement ceremony in the hotel’s Meilu Hall. In March 1936, American comedy master Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard, the female lead of "Modern Times," stayed at the hotel. The hotel has hosted over a hundred presidential-level receptions, not to mention other celebrities. It has been featured in 44 films, including well-known titles like "The Silent War," "Ruan Lingyu," "Tiny Times," "Crossing Hennessy," and "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma’s Bridge." This legendary hotel often appears in many old movies. The 1995 film "Peace Hotel" was the last Hong Kong movie Chow Yun-fat made before moving to Hollywood. During the 19th Shanghai International Film Festival in 2016, the Peace Hotel was awarded the "Centennial Film Special Contribution Award," a first in the hotel industry. The TV drama "Peace Hotel" is also set against the backdrop of this legendary hotel.

🎦 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.
