The Bund Tunnel, Shanghai, China

The Bund was re-opened to the public on Sunday 28 March 2010 after restoration.
The Bund stretches one mile along the bank the Huangpu River. Traditionally, the Bund begins at Yan'an Road (formerly Edward VII Avenue) in the south and ends at Waibaidu Bridge (formerly Garden Bridge) in the north, which crosses Suzhou Creek.
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.
