Know before you go

The Bund (Waitan)

Don’t forget to bring your camera, as there will be plenty to photograph along the Bund and across the Huangpu River.
There are 2,000 benches and plenty of vending machines along the Bund’s promenade, but not much shade; bring a hat or umbrella to protect against the sun.
The Bund is free to visit, but there is a fee to take the train through the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel.
To learn more about the history of the Bund, stop by the Bund Historical Museum, located within Huangpu Park, at the north end of the area.
