Introduction to the International Architectural Expo Group

The International Architectural Expo Group on the Bund allows you to get a glimpse of Shanghai’s century-old historical changes.

The Bund, since Shanghai was opened as a commercial port in the 1840s, has become the political, financial, commercial and cultural center of the great powers in Shanghai. Foreign banks, commercial houses and general associations gathered here. Walking along Zhongshan East Road, you will see various historical buildings of different styles, such as the Customs House, the North and South Buildings of the Peace Hotel, the former HSBC Bank Building, the Asia Building, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and the Lee Building, combined with Gothic style. The spiers, Baroque columns, Spanish balconies, and ancient Greek domes are all in sight, making you feel like you have traveled to an exotic street in the last century.

The lights are brightly lit at night, making it even more pleasing to the eye.

Some buildings have become consumer centers, such as the famous No. 18 on the Bund, which was the former headquarters of the British Standard Chartered Bank in China. The first and second floors are the flagship stores of many internationally renowned brands such as Cartier. The upper floors are the "18 Bund Creative Center", the Cantonese restaurant "Bund Wai Lou", the Michelin three-star chef restaurant, and the open-air river view bar. It is the best place to enjoy Shanghai's nightlife. A must visit.
