One of the big draw cards in Shanghai is The Bund when it’s lit up at night time. It ends up, like many other tourist attractions we’ve seen in China, an absolutely sardine can packed with everyone coming to see the sights. The Bund runs along the Huangpu River, along a spot which on the one side has high skyscrapers, and on the other colonial buildings built during the Opium Wars Wikipedia Opium Wars.
During the night there are many boats on the river taking cruises, some just sightseeing and some with dinner packages. We thought about doing a cruise, but in the end were happy with what we could see from the walk way along the bank; although it was quite busy to navigate through all the people visiting.
