This live view looks toward the Bund, the historic riverfront promenade on the Huangpu River in central Shanghai. Watch the river traffic and the skyline of colonial-era buildings across the water. Check the local time and weather on this page before you go.

About the Bund

The Bund runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the Huangpu District of Shanghai, where the city's financial history is most visible. Its row of early twentieth-century banks and trading houses, many built in European styles, faces the modern towers of Pudong on the opposite shore. The promenade has long been the city's most recognisable public space and a meeting point for residents and visitors alike.

What the camera shows

A camera trained on the waterfront typically frames river boats, the embankment and the lit skyline, though the exact view depends on the owner's framing. Evenings are often the most atmospheric, when the buildings are illuminated and the river reflects the lights. Weather, haze and the river's busy traffic change the picture noticeably from one hour to the next.

Visiting and climate

Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild but damp winters. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for a stroll along the river. The Bund is reachable by metro, and the Nanjing East Road station is a short walk away. Allow time for the crowds on weekends and public holidays.
