Shanghai, a city where the old meets the new, shines brightest when the sun goes down. The Bund, a waterfront stretch along the Huangpu River, has been the heartbeat of Shanghai’s growth and glamour for over a century. With its collection of architectural masterpieces ranging from Baroque to Gothic to ancient Greek styles, it’s no wonder it’s called an “exhibition of world architecture.”
As the city gears up for the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) from November 5 to 10 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, the streets buzz with excitement. This global event brings together cultures and innovations from around the world, and there’s no better backdrop than Shanghai’s historic landmarks.
Take a nighttime stroll through the city, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a luminous blend of past and present. The Bund’s iconic skyline, lit up against the night sky, offers breathtaking views that capture the essence of Shanghai’s unique charm. From eye-catching spots to clusters of exquisite historical buildings, every corner tells a story waiting to be explored.
Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for an unforgettable experience, Shanghai invites you to witness its timeless beauty and dynamic spirit.
