The origin of the bund name

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of the riverbanks in the east gate of Shanghai County were natural beaches except Huangpu River. At low tide, the river stagnated in the center of the river bed, revealing a large beach. At high tide, the river didn't cross the beach. Huangpu River is the main river in Shanghai. Because the river is very wide and the current is very fast, ships sailing against the current have to pull the fibers.

For hundreds of years, the footsteps of trackers have trodden a tortuous path on the beach of Huangpu River, which is called the "fiber path", and this fiber path is the earliest road on the Bund. On the west side of Fiber Road is farmland, and huts are scattered between buildings and ditches.

In the customary words of place names in Shanghai, the upper reaches of the river are generally called "Li" and the lower reaches of the river are called "Wai". Before entering the old county town of Shanghai, there was a small tributary called Shanghai Pu (now disappeared), and Shanghainese took the outlet of this small river as the boundary. The Huangpu Beach in its upper reaches is referred to as "Li Huangpu Beach", and the Huangpu Beach in its lower reaches is referred to as "Waihuangpu Beach".
