The promenade of Shanghai, for over a hundred years, has always appeared in front of the world as a symbol of Shanghai. Due to its unique geographical location and its influence on Shanghai and even China in the field of economic activities over the past century, it has a very rich cultural connotation.
This path was once trodden by boatmen and laborers. After more than a hundred years of construction, it is now lined with skyscrapers and bustling with activity. These buildings, which blend classical and modernist styles, have become a symbol of Shanghai. The Bund stretches from Waibaidu Bridge in the north to Jinling East Road in the south, spanning about 1.5 kilometers. To the east lies the Huangpu River, and to the west are 52 buildings of various styles. The essence of the Bund lies in these buildings, known as the 'Exhibition of International Architecture.' The famous Bank of China Building, Peace Hotel, Customs House, and HSBC Building all recreate the splendor of the former 'Wall Street of the Far East.'
The tallest building in China (the second tallest in the world), the view from the top floor on the 118th floor is breathtaking. Looking down at the banks of the Huangpu River from 118 floors high, you can still clearly distinguish each building. Whether it's the century-old historical buildings on the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower, or the Shanghai World Financial Center (the Bottle Opener Building), the sense of awe and emotion is indescribable.
Peace Hotel
Built in 1906, the Peace Hotel was originally known as the Central Hotel. Located at the intersection of East Nanjing Road in Shanghai, the Peace Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Shanghai with a balanced Renaissance-style apartment building. The Peace Hotel has two symmetrical and solemn buildings. The decorative style of the Peace Hotel's architecture uses red bricks as waistlines and white wall bricks as facades.
Located in Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, the Shanghai World Financial Center is the third tallest building in the world. The observation deck on the top floor of the financial center features three walkways with transparent glass floors. Standing on the observation deck feels like walking in the clouds, offering a breathtaking view of the entire Huangpu River below. The observation deck attracts over three million tourists to Shanghai each year. The Shanghai World Financial Center observation deck is the highest 100-floor observation deck in the world, offering unique tickets and souvenirs. When you see these tickets and souvenirs in the future, you will remember your visit.
Shanghai Circus World
Shanghai Circus World is located on Gonghe Xin Road, adjacent to Zhabei Stadium to the south and Guangzhong Park to the north. Covering an area of 2.25 hectares, it is the cultural, sports, and entertainment center of the northern part of Shanghai. Shanghai Circus World consists of five main parts: the acrobatics arena, rehearsal auxiliary rooms, entertainment center, animal house, and performer reception center. It is a comprehensive entertainment and art venue that focuses on acrobatics and circus performances, integrating culture, sports, and entertainment.
If you enjoy charming scenery and the feeling of being on top of a tall building, don't be afraid, this place is definitely worth a visit. If you are brave enough, you can even walk on the edge of the building's exterior with a rope. Looking down from the top floor, you can see all the way to the lobby on the first floor. The building has a total of 88 floors. It's definitely worth a visit.
