Brief introduction of Shanghai Bund
Huangpu River is the largest river flowing through Shanghai, and its source is located in Longwangshan Nature Reserve in Anji, Zhejiang. Because the Huangpu River connects the rivers and seas, there are two obvious high tides and low tides every day on average. The water level difference in a day can reach more than 4 meters. In case of astronomical tide, the water level difference is even greater.
Shanghai Bund faces the open mother river-Huangpu River, and is backed by buildings with rigorous modeling and different styles. Because of its unique geographical location and its influence on Shanghai and even China in the field of economic activities in the past century, it has very rich cultural connotations.
The street view of Shanghai Bund, which consists of river surface, long dike, green belt and beautiful buildings, is the most distinctive landscape in Shanghai. 1995 was selected as "Top Ten New Scenery in Shanghai in 1990s".

Introduction to Bund Scenery:
Huangpu Park
Huangpu Park, which once recorded the humiliating history of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", is the earliest European garden in Shanghai, built at 1886. She is a witness to the vicissitudes of the Bund in the past century. Today, the Shanghai Monument to the People's Heroes stands tall, and the Bund Historical Memorial Hall, which is free of charge at the bottom of the tower, is a century-long struggle history of the Chinese nation.
2. Urban Sculpture Group
The beauty of a city should consist of three parts: architecture, sculpture and greening. Urban sculpture, also known as "the eye of the city", is an important part of beautifying the city. The Bund city sculpture group consists of three stainless steel sculptures, namely "Light of Pujiang", "Sail" and "Wind". It is located in the green corridor of the Bund on Jinling East Road and shines in the sun.
3. Chen Yi Square
At Chen Yi Square at the end of Shili Nanjing Road, the statue of Chen Yi, the first mayor of New China, stands proudly. The bronze statue of Chen Yi, which faces south, is 5.6 meters high, with a red polished granite base and a height of 3.5 meters. The statue reproduces the typical posture of Comrade Chen Yi during his inspection work, and shows his image as a travel-stained and diligent public servant, as well as an approachable and open-minded Confucian demeanor.
4. Sightseeing tunnel
The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is located between the Bund of Nanjing East Road in Puxi and the Oriental Pearl in Lujiazui, Pudong. It is the first river-crossing pedestrian tunnel in China, with a total length of 646.70 meters, which was completed at the end of 2000.
5. Waterfall Clock
"Pace of the Times" is located in Waterfall Clock, just opposite the Customs Building. It is embedded in the green corridor. The clock is 3.5 meters high and 2.7 meters long. It is dark green and stepped. It is divided into ten steps. Each stage is equipped with a spray pipe, which is controlled by a computer. The fountain spouts a water curtain composed of more than 1000 water columns. The water curtain was dragged up the steps and fell into the waterfall.
6. The Bund "Lover Wall"
Commonly known as the "lover's wall", it was built on the Huangpu River, from Huangpu Park to Xinkaihe, with a total length of about 1.700 meters. The sightseeing platform is actually built on an empty box-type structure flood control wall, which extends to the Pujiang River. A sightseeing platform was built at the top of the empty box, and its ground was paved with 654.38+04,000 colored floor tiles and granite. There are 32 viewing balconies with semi-circular decorative bars and 64 square lights by the river.
