The reason I like the Bund







Hannah Han
Typical Sagittarius

I am a  backpacker and love couchsurfing. Up to now, I have been to around 20 European cities. I have been to the Sahara for four days and was 'thrown' to a widerness by a local driver; I've met a very nice couchfurfing host in Edinburgh; when I travelled in Beijing, I met several guys from Denmark and warm-heartedly became their tour guide.

If I am your local, I will take you to...
  Of course the Bund at night! 
  The first time I came to Shanghai was for the New Year's Day, and unfortunately  met with the trampling event at that time. 
  Later, I went to the Rockbund Art Museum and studied a lecture of the development of the Bund. I was totally attracted by the history of each constructions and their designs. Although I haven't studied a lot on constructions, I knew most origins from the Bund No.1 to No.18. Therefore, every time my friends come, I will take them walk along the Bund at night to appreciate the constructions and the beauty of the nightview. 

  
  Personally, I prefer the No.2 Waldorf best which used to be British Tai-pan. As Noel Barber said: If you come to Shanghai without an invitation to go to the British Tai-pan for a cup of bitter gin, then your travel to Shanghai is not complete.


Do you want to come to Shanghai and be my friend? I am willing to introduce the Bund and the beauty of the city to you.

Tips

  1. http://www.rockbundartmuseum.org/cn/
  This is the website of Rockbund Art Museum. For me, this is a place worth visiting where many exhibitons, lectures or shows held here. One can check the schedule on the website.
  The museum open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00-18:00. 
  Add: 20 Huqiu Road, Huangpu District

 2. Waldorf is also a good place for afternoon tea. Their red velvet cake is quite famous. Remember make a reservation or arrive there earlier since there are only 12 tables of river view. 

Every journey is fresh, and every time I can meet with some interesting people. Maybe I am not the one who's the funniest, but I bet I am the most passionate towards life.
