The Bund, Shanghai

The Bund (外滩) is Shanghai's stately street of old colonial-era buildings and the first port of call for many visitors.

Behind you is a three-prong monument for the fallen soldiers.

The Bund was initially a British settlement,and became a major financial center of east Asia at the beginning of 20th century.

The Bund has been called a 'museum of international architecture'.

Night falls, it will become more gorgeous.

The monument lights up,too.

One of the most impressive city skylines in the world.
