The Bund

The Bund (Wai Tan) is one of the symbols of Shanghai. Located along the Huangpu River, the Bund shows off Shanghai’s outstanding foreign buildings, most of which were erected before 1937. To the Europeans, the Bund was Shanghai’s answer to Wall Street. In the 1930s, the string of buildings hosted the city's financial and commercial centers, and the world's greatest banks and trading empires established a base here.

The West Lake

Rippling waters shimmering on a sunny day 水光潋滟晴方好
Misty mountains shrouded in rain 山色空蒙雨亦奇
Plain or gaily dressed like Xizi 欲把西湖比西子
West Lake is always alluring. 淡妆浓抹总相宜

These are the words used by the celebrated Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo (苏东坡) to describe Hangzhou’s West Lake. The West Lake is one of the most famous and beautiful tourist destinations in China.
