The Bund promenade
A riverbank walk with room for looking. Historic facades on one side, the Pudong skyline across the water.
Culture Shanghai
A high-level observation visit puts the river and city in perspective.
Top of Shanghai Observatory takes the visit into the upper reaches of Shanghai Tower, with observation areas on the 118th and 119th floors. From Lujiazui, the experience puts the surrounding skyscrapers and the river city into a much wider frame.
Make the ascent the main event in this part of the day. Visibility affects what you can see, so keep the weather in mind when deciding between an observation visit and exploring the waterfront at street level.
