Shanghai The Bund Night Scene
 |
The bund, also called the Zhongshan Road, is the waterfront area of Pu Xi that faces the newer part of Shanghai-Pu Dong. It has been reviewed as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years and is a popular destination for tourists. The Bund concentrates almost all of the beauty of the shades in Shanghai, attracting agminate folks to enjoy the night.
Many locals come to the riverside to have a walk, or simply to escape the heat. The clear space is a treasure for the people who have to share the highly congested space in Shanghai. Some families bring kites to fly. Many adults enjoy themselves by sitting down along the side of the paths and chatting. Others are relaxing after the through the crowds in Nanjing Road.
Walking along the Bund at night is really a fascinating site, as the entire Pu Dong skyline (across the river) is illuminated, including the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the 2nd tallest building in the world-Jin Mao Tower. And directly across Zhongshan Road, you will see many different types of structures from Old Shanghai such as Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and Renaissance. The synchronization of lightings and amazed all of the tourists.Another activity not to be missed in the Bund is Chen Yi Square, at the end of Nanjing Road. Chen Yi is the first Major of Shanghai City, one of top ten marshals of China. His statue sits North facing the South with a heights of 5.6 meters. The statue is the redivivus of his typical gesture while surveying work, displaying his laborious image as the civil servant and his very modest as marshal. In the south of the statue is the fountain. Along with the conversion of lighting, the water column emanates all the colors of the rainbow, red, yellow, green… adding the magnificent to the night scene of Bund.
