Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Bund International Architecture Exhibition refers to the broad collection of historical architecture along Shanghai’s Bund. The Bund houses 52 buildings of various architectural styles, the most prominent being Eclecticism, but with some buildings displaying predominantly Romanesque Revival, Gothic Revival, Renaissance Revival, Baroque Revival, Neo-Classical or Beaux-Arts styles, and a number in Art Deco style. For this reason, it is a popular spot for photography. No visit to Shanghai would be complete without a visit to the Bund.

The Bund, from the Waibaidu Bridge to the north, to the Jinling East Road to the south, the total length is about 1.5 kilometers, the east is by the Huangpu River, and the west is 52 buildings of different styles. The essence of the Bund lies in these Bund buildings known as the "World Building Expo". The famous Bank of China building, Peace Hotel, Customs building, HSBC building reproduce the style of the former "Far East Wall Street". Although these buildings are not from the same designer, they are not built in the same period, but their architectural colors are basically unified. The overall outline is handled with amazing coordination. Whether it is far-sighted or in between, you can feel a strong, majestic, graceful, and noble momentum.
Seeing the historical changes of the magic capital, how can you miss the beautiful scenery of the Bund? With the sunset, at the beginning of the night, the world's buildings lit up with colorful lights and authentic Europa style in this high-rise building, taking you to appreciate the prosperity of the first port in the Far East.
A century-old building that witnessed the development of the upper beach.
The Bund has preserved more than 20 high-rise buildings. These buildings have different styles, with gothic, roman and so on on the facade, and the interior is decorated in magnificent style. Each building carries history and has a unique story. Now some of these buildings have become famous hotels, some have big banks. Many buildings are open to the public, and you can go in and see them when you pass by.
There are many historical buildings in the Bund area, which is worth visiting in detail. From the architectural style, the decoration characteristics or the owners and uses of the year are very interesting. The original HSBC headquarters and the current PUDB First Business Department are now open to the public, and you can go in and see if you do or do not do business.
The individual feeling of the World Architecture Expo Group is still more dazzling at night. The essence of the Expo is the architecture of different countries and the night scenery of Pujiang River. On the other side of the river stands the Oriental Pearl, the Jinmao Tower, the world financial center and other skyscrapers. It is neon bright at night, and can feel the charm and romance of the city. I have read an article about Shanghai Universal Architecture, such as Gothic, Baroque, Spanish and so on, but I can't distinguish the buildings in my eyes at all. The layman is very busy. It is the preservation of history. Unfortunately, we went in the daytime. I hope to see it next night.
