The Bund
The colonial waterfront. Watch Lujiazui light — do not rush Yuyuan in the same hour.

The Bund
The colonial waterfront and East Nanjing Road. Keep dusk for the lights — not a deep Yuyuan day.

Bund Sightseeing Tunnel
More gimmick than view. Metro Line 2 is the cleaner hop to Lujiazui.

Keep this hour for the lights. If you walked by day, do not re-shop the same stretch.
Bund axis meal
The Bund-axis sitting, in a dining floor on Zhongshan East 1st Road. After the promenade, stop — Nanxiang is the Yuyuan day, Hengshan Road is another night.
