Former Hsbc Building On The Bund

The grand HSBC Building (now SPD Bank) is a colossal neoclassical edifice completed in 1923. Once the largest building in the Far East, it projects power and stability with its granite facade and magnificent dome. Inside, the breathtaking octagonal lobby features stunning mosaics depicting allegorical figures and global port cities, showcasing its colonial reach. Legendary bronze lions guard its entrance, symbolizing its historical role as “the Oriental Wall Street.” This architectural jewel is a must-see for anyone captivated by history, economics, and unparalleled artistry etched in stone.

Shanghai Custom House

The majestic Customs House, completed in 1927, stands as a grand symbol of Shanghai’s historical prominence. Its iconic clock tower, inspired by London’s Big Ben, has marked time over the Bund for nearly a century. The large clock faces, each over 5 meters in diameter, chime every hour, echoing the city’s colonial past. The neoclassical architecture represents strength and stability, reflecting Shanghai’s role as a global trade hub. Today, it remains a working government building, seamlessly blending rich history with modern functionality. Listen to the chimes and feel the pulse of history!

Heping Fandian

An Art Deco masterpiece and legendary symbol of 1920s Shanghai glamour. Its distinctive bronze pyramid roof and emerald copper dome house opulent interiors, a historic jazz bar (where the Old Jazz Band still performs), and corridors that once hosted celebrities and filmmakers. Relive the ambiance of its Blossoms Shanghai appearances and savor gourmet cuisine in its lavish settings. By night, enjoy jazz melodies with a cocktail, embracing an era of elegance that continues to captivate visitors. This is where classic sophistication meets modern luxury.

Lujiazui

Pudong Skyline: The Futuristic Symphony Gaze across the Huangpu River to witness Pudong’s dazzling skyline, one of the world’s most stunning modern landscapes. Dominated by the “Three Giants”—Shanghai Tower, Jin Mao Tower, and World Financial Center—this awe-inspiring view symbolizes Shanghai’s rapid transformation. By day, these architectural marvels showcase human ingenuity; by night, they become a spectacular light show with synchronized illuminations. For the best experience, visit the observation decks or enjoy free panoramas from the Bund. This view encapsulates Shanghai’s journey from a humble port to a global powerhouse.
