It is famous for more than 50 architectural works in many different styles such as Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque or Neoclassical, making this area considered an "international architectural museum" right in the heart of Shanghai tourism. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, The Bund was once the busiest economic and commercial center in China, home to the headquarters of banks, consulates and leading European trading companies.
Strolling at the Bund, visitors can easily feel the cultural exchange through iconic buildings such as:
- Customs Building with 90m high clock tower in ancient Gothic style.

- Rows of German-style red brick buildings interspersed with unique Asian tiled roofs.
- The street lights, steel railings and sculptures evoke a classic European atmosphere right in the heart of Shanghai.
