The Bund
The Bund is most useful as Shanghai's orientation walk: one bank holds the city's early-20th-century commercial facades, the other its contemporary skyline. Treat it as a route, not a single photo stop. Come at first light for space or 30-45 minutes before sunset for the transition, then continue by public ferry if service is running.
