The Bund, Shanghai

It seems these days everyone is traveling to Asia. Tourism to China, India, and Vietnam has had a double-digit increase in international travelers over the past year.

Perhaps this is due to the allure of the rising East, but experts, like the World Tourism Organization, are expecting this trend to increase in the following years.

One of these coveted locations, which should come to no surprise for business travelers, is the Bund; Shanghai’s chicest spot for night life and an international financial core.

Centered on Zhongshan Road along the western bank of the Huangpu River, the Bund is renowned for its architecture and the numerous colonial landmarks along the strip.

This one mile stretch is composed of 52 building ranging from various architectural styles such as Baroque, Neo-classical and Gothic.

The Bund houses some of the major financial institutions operating in China. This has transformed the city into a powerful dynamic hub of fast lives and a playground for global jetsetters.
