EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting scene of The Bund in central Shanghai during the 1920s. The Bund, a renowned waterfront area, is situated along the western bank of the Huangpu River, facing the dynamic and modern Pudong district in the eastern part of Huangpu District. In this image, Zhongshan Road, once part of the former Shanghai International Settlement, is the focal point. The Bund is a unique blend of architectural styles, showcasing a rich history of international influences. The buildings in the background, with their distinct European architectural designs, stand tall against the backdrop of the Chinese landscape. The tranquil waters of the Huangpu River reflect the vibrant colors of the buildings, creating a mesmerizing reflection. Transport in the area is a fascinating mix of traditional and modern modes. Rickshaws, a common means of transport during the era, can be seen parked along the side of the road. In contrast, trams, a more modern form of transportation, can be seen making their way along the streets. The Garden Bridge, also known as Waibaidu Bridge, can be seen in the distance. This iconic bridge, completed in 1927, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The Bund, with its rich history and unique blend of cultures, continues to be a popular tourist destination and a symbol of Shanghai's past and present.
