The Bund's colonial-era banks and offices—resembling a hallucinogenic transplant of European buildings, with domes and clock towers—have been spruced up and turned into complexes with stylish cafés and boutiques.
The most prominent (and gaudiest) of them, Three on the Bund, was gutted by American architect Michael Graves to create an echoing hall in marble, with an art gallery at its base and rings of bars and restaurants on the upper floors.
From the Bund, one gets the signature views of Pudong, dominated by the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, a piece of juvenile science fiction, and the district's most impressive high-rise, the Jin Mao Tower.
