LARIS

A specta-bulous, dazzling waterfront esplanade with a wide range of colonial styles of architecture. Particularly striking at night, when brilliantly illuminated (note: lights off at 10:30pm). One of the most famous streets in China, and an absolute necessity to visit. Over the past few years, the buildings have started to be inhabited by shopping arcades and restaurants. The most impressive are 3 on the Bund and Bund 18, which have some of Shanghai’s most glamorous restaurants and bars as well as high-end glitzy international boutiques.
