Shanghai's Most Prominent Sightseer Attraction

Have you seen one of Steven Spielberg's unsurpassed pictures, Empire of Sun? If not, then you lost the opportunity to guess what is the most prominent sightseer attraction in the beautiful and historic city of Shanghai.

The Bund, which refers to the 52 buildings and wharves along the bunk of HuangPu River, is the most prominent sightseer attraction in Shanghai. The term "bund" is an Anglo-Indian word which stands for, "embankment" represents the flood barriers. This place is extra delightful and beautiful especially at night because of the numerous lights from the buildings. The way I see it, this destination never sleeps because it's permanently well-lighted and alive.

Throughout the Bunk, sightseers can witness numerous architectural styles like Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neo-Classical, Beaux-Arts, and Art Deco. Here, sightseers can also have a glimpse of the well-designed, remains of colonialism which include Customs House with the popular bell Big Ching and Peace Hotel. Other copious constructions that can be found in the area are Asia Building, Shanghai Club, Union Building, and Nissin Building.

Now, you have two options left, are you going to Shanghai or you will just settle for the DVD of Steven Spielberg picture to see the prominent, The Bund?
