You can see all the lights as far as you can see. Not far away, the neon lights on Nanjing Road are like a colorful river of lights, and the lights here are no less than those in international metropolises such as Tokyo and Hong Kong. You can also walk to the cruise terminal on the new Bund and board the luxurious Pujiang cruise ship. At night, you can swim between nanpu bridge, Yangpu Bridge, the "Oriental Pearl" and the Bund, and feel the artistic conception of "the boat is in the river and people are in the painting".

As night falls and the lights are on, dozens of towering buildings are immersed in the ocean of lights, as clear as underwater palaces.

Overlooking the river, the whole Bund complex is dazzling and uneven. This momentum and artistic conception is like an extraordinary and magnificent symphony epic. The buildings on the Bund were not built by the same designer or at the same time. However, their architectural colors are basically unified, and the overall outline lines are surprisingly coordinated.

Whether you look from a distance or wander around, you can feel a vigorous, vigorous and elegant momentum. The Bund, the "World Architecture Expo", is well deserved.
