Make time today for the bund at dusk, with walks and exploration at a pace that suits you. Shanghai reveals itself in contrasts: the grand waterfront buildings of the Bund and the glass towers across the river; plane-tree avenues and experimental art spaces; intimate dumpling shops and ambitious dining rooms. Spend time with its architecture, browse independent design studios and watch the city lights gather over the Huangpu. Adjust the length of each visit to your interests and leave part of the afternoon free for independent discovery or a quiet pause.
