We take you on a quick tour of the world famous Bund in Shanghai, where we focus on the architecture of the 1920s to 1930s buidings. We will revisit some of these buildings in more detail, giving us a chance to correct all the early mistakes.

I really enjoyed your video. I am myself fascinated by these buildings. And did what you did, walked along the Bund, but started from the opposite end. I live how outside the entrance of each building there is a brass plaque with the history of the building. The entire history of Shanghai just fascinates me. Thank you again for a great video.

Thanks! Don't believe all the plaques though, they can be misleading at times. If you're interested in the Bund and Shanghai buildings in general, I recommend a book called Building Shanghai by Denison and Yu Ren, and also Shanghai Art Deco, by Tess Johnson and Deke Erh, and also (since I'm on a run here) 150 Years of the Bund, by a committee I think and published by the Shanghai People's Fine Art Pub. House.

Thankyou. After 1.5 years living here in Shanghai. I’m constantly coming across streets, buildings whose architecture just amazes me.

Loved this, thank you- I was first introduced to the Bund with the movie Empire of the sun. Been fascinated ever since.

Thanks for giving us this quick tour, and it is quite remarkable indeed.

What is artificial stone? Clearly not concrete.

Very useful resource, charmingly presented. Subscribed. EDIT: I see no new videos in a year. I hope you are OK.

Very kind of you! Apologies for the delay in this reply, but I check in only every now and again. Unfortunately, we left Shanghai for greener pastures, in part because of the severe covid lockdown in 2022 (see our later episodes recorded from our apartment; they're not scintillating, but they're informative!). We had many more episodes planned, but life had other ideas! In answer to your question though, yes, we are fine, thank you!
