No trip to Shanghai is complete without a visit to The Bund (Waitan)—one of China’s most iconic landmarks and a symbol of the city’s dazzling transformation. Just a short stroll from Shanghai Bund Riverside Treasury Hotel, this historic waterfront promenade stretches along the western bank of the Huangpu River, offering panoramic views of colonial-era architecture on one side and the futuristic skyline of Pudong on the other.
As you walk along the Bund Promenade, you’ll be surrounded by 52 grand buildings constructed between the 1840s and 1940s, showcasing a blend of Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical, and Art Deco styles. These once-housed banks, trading houses, and consulates now serve as luxury hotels, fine dining restaurants, and cultural centers.

- Historic Architecture Walk: Take a self-guided tour of landmarks like the HSBC Building, Peace Hotel, and Customs House with its famous clock tower.

🌉 2. Garden Bridge & North Bund Green Land: Hidden Gems for Scenic Strolls & Photography
Distance from Hotel: 5–7 minutes on foot
Best Time to Visit: Early Morning or Sunset
Just a stone’s throw from the hotel lies a lesser-known but equally captivating destination: the Garden Bridge (Waibaidu Bridge) and the beautifully landscaped North Bund Green Land. This tranquil riverside escape offers a peaceful contrast to the bustling city, making it a favorite among local photographers, couples, and travelers looking for a quiet moment with a view.
🏞️ Garden Bridge (Waibaidu Bridge)
Built in 1908, the Garden Bridge is Shanghai’s first all-steel bridge and a protected historical monument. Spanning the Suzhou Creek where it meets the Huangpu River, this iconic structure has appeared in countless films and photographs. It’s especially magical at sunset, when golden light reflects off the water and the city glows in the background.
Walk across the bridge for a unique vantage point of the Bund skyline, Pudong, and the confluence of two of Shanghai’s most important waterways.
🌿 North Bund Green Land (Beibin Green Space)
Adjacent to the Garden Bridge, this riverside park is a beautifully designed green oasis with walking paths, seating areas, and lush landscaping. It’s an ideal spot to:
- Enjoy a morning walk with coffee in hand
- Capture stunning photos of the skyline from a local’s perspective
- Relax on a bench and watch the boats drift by
- Fly a drone (if permitted) for breathtaking aerial shots
The park is especially popular during cherry blossom season (March–April) and autumn (October–November), when the foliage creates a vibrant backdrop.
