The Bund Tunnel, Shanghai, China
|
While Shanghai Metro Line 2 crosses the Bund, there are no plans to build a station on the Bund. The closest station is East Nanjing Road, about a five minute walk up Nanjing Road. East-1 Zhongshan Road is a major bus route.
There were previously frequent ferry services operating from wharves on and near the Bund. Some these have been discontinued in the last decade, although pleasure cruises continue to operate from these wharves.
The Bund (simplified Chinese: 外滩; traditional Chinese: 外灘; pinyin: Wàitān) is an area Huangpu District in central Shanghai, People's Republic China.
