The Bund
Best time to visit
Early morning for sunrise and far fewer people, or after sunset to see the Pudong skyline illuminated and cooler temperatures in summer.
Budget tips
Promenade access is free year-round; skip pricey souvenir stalls and buy snacks from nearby convenience stores; combine with a river cruise only if you want framed skyline photos, otherwise save money by photographing from the riverbank.

About
Korte feiten: 河风带着船笛和烧烤摊的香气，长约1.5公里的石板步道两侧排列着超过50幢风格各异的老建筑。曾是远东金融脉络中的核心区，几座钟楼与大理石门廊如今仍吸引摄影师清晨抢占光线。
Hoogtepunten: 岸边的空气里混着潮湿的金属味和相机快门声，清晨5点到7点常能看到准新人和摄影团队用反光板拉出一条暖色的长光带。钟楼上的机械报时每15分钟响起一次，三下短促的敲击加一声长鸣在夜色中回荡，常被长曝光摄影师用来制造动感线条。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light windbreaker; the Huangpu River can be chilly and breezy even on warm days.
- Head to the Bund promenade near the Waibaidu Bridge for classic colonial-building shots with the river in the foreground.
- Avoid weekends and Chinese public holidays if you want fewer crowds; arrive before 07:30 for near-empty sunrise photos.
- Skip touristy restaurants on Zhongshan East Road, walk two blocks inland for better-value local eateries.
