The Bund Tunnel, Shanghai, China

The Bund centres on a stretch the Zhongshan Road, named after Sun Yat-sen. Zhongshan Road is a largely circular road which formed the traditional conceptual boundary Shanghai city "proper". To the west this stretch the road stands some 52 buildings various Western classical and modern styles which is the main feature the Bund. To the east the road was formerly a stretch parkland culminating at Huangpu Park. (This park is the site the infamous sign reported to have proclaimed "no dogs or Chinese", although this exact wording never existed. Further information, including an image the sign, can be found at the article on Huangpu Park.) This area is now much reduced due to the expansion Zhongshan Road. Further east is a tall levee, constructed in the 1990s to ward f flood waters. The construction this high wall has dramatically changed the appearance the Bund.
Near the Nanjing Road intersection stands what is currently the only bronze statue along the Bund. It is a statue Chen Yi, the first Communist mayor Shanghai. At the northern end The Bund, along the riverfront, is Huangpu Park, in which is situated the Monument to the People's Heroes - a tall, abstract concrete tower which is a memorial for the those who died during the revolutionary struggle Shanghai dating back to the Opium Wars.
The Bund was famously featured in the novel Empire the Sun by British author J.G. Ballard, based on his experiences as a boy during the Japanese invasion and occupation. The book was later made into a film by Steven Spielberg.
