Underrated other side of the Bund

This is not exactly Liujiazui - could not tag a more accurate location. Everyone knows West Bund， Bund or North Bund, but rarely do people talk about the Pudong side of the Bund - 滨江。 To cross the river for Pudong, hop on one of the multiple ferry stops along the Bund - I recommend the 董家渡 stop which will disembark you at 塘桥 - slightly south to Liujiazui. (See map) The entire ferry ride is a less than 10 minutes and costs 2RMB. Go on the upper outdoor deck to get the best views of both sides of the Huangpu river. Disembarking at 塘桥，walk north along the riverside promenade (滨江）and a get a closer view of the Pearl Tower as well as the the Bund from the other side. You can also ride or walk the 20km stretch of dedicated cyclist/pedestrian lane. The cyclable route winds through trees, rises above ground and goes through protected forest areas. Walk or ride, this is a very nice afternoon/sunset activity to to with a family but expect to have go through a few busy areas - Specially when getting closer to the Pearl Tower. You can plan a picnic or stop at the multiple coffee stops along the river as well as many restaurants - Fat Cow, Eli Falafel, Chili’s etc - as you get closer to Liujiazui. #visitshanghai #tripblazers #passionpassport #thebund #waitan
