Shanghai in the cool autumn.

The Bund Source is the core area of the Bund Historical Area, located at the confluence of the Huangpu River and Suzhou River, and is the starting point and source of the Bund. Historic Buildings: The area retains a large number of Western buildings built from the 19th to the early 20th century, such as the former British Consulate General in Shanghai, etc. These buildings have a variety of styles such as Renaissance and Neoclassicism, and are the source of modern Shanghai. Culture and Commerce: After restoration and renovation, the Bund Source has now become a comprehensive block integrating culture, commerce, and leisure, with various formats such as art galleries, art galleries, and high-end restaurants. Tourist Value: For tourists, the Bund Source is an important window to understand the modern history and culture of Shanghai, and it is also a popular place for photo check-ins.

Not Just Space.. Church Near the Bund.

Shanghai's original Union Church, also known as the Union Chapel, is located at 107 South Suzhou Road. This church was built in 1886 and was designed by British architect William Dowdall, one of the few members of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in Shanghai at the time. The building adopts a Gothic Revival style overall, featuring a double-cross structure, with alternating blue and red bricks on the exterior, showcasing the typical appearance of Roman church architecture. Union Church was once a famous expatriate church in Shanghai, primarily providing religious services to non-Anglican congregants. At the center of the church stands a 33-meter-high bell tower with a sharp spire, making it a well-known landmark in the Bund area. There are chapels on both the east and west sides of the church, offering a total capacity of 500 to 600 people. Unfortunately, the church suffered significant damage from several fires, particularly the major fire in 2007, which almost completely destroyed it. However, it was restored in time for the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and since its restoration, it has become a popular spot for wedding photography. Although the west chapel was not restored to its original state, the overall exterior has been well preserved, continuing to operate while retaining its faith and memories. Shanghai's original Union Church is more than just a historical building; it has become an important part of the city's culture, attracting many tourists and worshippers who come to pray.

Citywalk: Beautiful and Story-filled Century-old Buildings at the Origin of the Bund

Located at the confluence of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek, the Origin of the Bund is a historic and cultural district, known as the source of the Bund's World Architecture Expo. In the early morning, under the dawn light, the area around the buildings is shaded with greenery and lawns, clean and tranquil. A dozen Western-style old buildings built in the 1920s and 1930s each have their own unique features. Whether it is the architectural shape and structure, or the marble or simple red brick facades, they all possess appreciable architectural artistry. These buildings are listed in Shanghai's directory of outstanding historical buildings. Many buildings are open to the public, where you can touch the details of the architecture, and some are hosting exhibitions. The Bund Origin No. 1 was originally the main building of the British Consulate, with banners promoting the Sino-French Women's Film Project hanging outside. These buildings have weathered the vicissitudes of time, leaving behind history and stories. Now, there are informational signs on the walls of these old buildings, some with QR codes that you can scan to listen to the history and stories of the building. While touring the banks of Suzhou Creek or the Huangpu River, it is well worth visiting the Origin of the Bund. On weekends, many newlyweds take photos there, making it very lively.

The free exhibition of the 'Bend-Over Girl' installation is really too cute!

I was afraid it would be crowded on the weekend, so I just went for it and it started pouring right after I finished taking photos, which was really lucky. The kids kept saying it was really too cute It would be great if there was a souvenir shop. After a year without dancing, the girl who can no longer bend over can only take the comedic route The Bund Origin by Rock

Looking at the Huangpu River from the Waibaidu Bridge

Bund citywalk. Came to the Waibaidu Bridge, Huangpu Garden, Bund Origin 33 Rock, Tiger Hill Road, listening to the explanation and looking at these buildings, indeed have a new understanding, the original use of these buildings, hundreds of years of history, still shining with modern light, even the trees inside the buildings are one or two hundred years old. Witnessed the vicissitudes of Shanghai, these four words have a practical understanding. In addition, this Waibaidu Bridge is not the filming location of Yiping's jumping off the bridge, it just looks very similar~

Shanghai never lacks romantic shops, a poem dedicated to women

Women's Day is coming soon, and personally, I don't have any aversion to the term 'women'. Compared to the recently popular 'Goddess Day' alternative, I feel that 'women' carries more power and independence. I passed by the Guan Xia store while shopping, and as a Chinese-style national fragrance brand, it really has a lot of style in every aspect. They also have Women's Day gifts—a poetry collection with a scent and tissues printed with poems, which are quite exquisite. The store is decorated with a Zen vibe, and their main promotion is a collaboration with the established brand Shuang Mei, named No. 475 Department Store perfume. The name itself has a vintage feel, and the fragrance is a Chinese-style elegant jasmine base with a hint of woodiness, which is very pleasant. It's both classic and modern. However, the price is on the higher side, with 30ml costing 798RMB, which is a bit steep.

The malls around People's Square in Shanghai where grass can be planted

If I have to choose one in Shanghai Repeatedly wandering around without getting tired Casually taking photos is very stylish Each of the four seasons has its own charm And so on... Then I would definitely vote for The Bund Source without reservation On a sunny spring afternoon Even on a workday There are still crowds of people Whether sitting by the Suzhou River and having a cup of coffee Or strolling on the Waibaidu Bridge, watching the traffic Or taking photos of the European-style retro buildings Here You can always find something you like and are good at To spend an afternoon For me If the Bund is considered the heart of Shanghai Then The Bund Source is the soul of Shanghai It's the place that closest to the old Shanghai in my heart If you have plans to visit Shanghai Then don't miss The Bund Source Rock.
