XE3A6997 - 外滩 – Bund (中国上海 – Shanghai, China)

El Bund o Waitan (en chino, 外滩; shanghainés, nga3thae1; lit. «playa exterior») es una zona junto al río y un distrito histórico protegido situado en el centro de Shanghái (China). La zona gira en torno a una sección de la Zhongshan Road (East Zhongshan Road n.º 1) situada dentro de la antigua concesión internacional, que discurre a lo largo de la orilla oeste del río Huangpu en la zona este del distrito de Huangpu. Al otro lado del río se encuentran los modernos rascacielos de Lujiazui, en el distrito de Pudong. El Bund usualmente se refiere a los edificios y muelles situados en esta sección de la calle, así como en algunas zonas adyacentes. Desde la década de 1860 hasta la década de 1930 fue el rico y poderoso centro del asentamiento extranjero de Shanghái, que funcionaba como un puerto abierto protegido legalmente.

The Bund is a waterfront area and a protected historical district in central Shanghai. The area centers on a section of Zhongshan Road (East Zhongshan Road No.1) within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the eastern part of Huangpu. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in Pudong. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. This region has a significant European influence, with the style of many structures most comparable to that of European cities, particularly Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical, Romanesque, Art Deco, and Renaissance architecture. Additionally, some of the city's top eateries are located there. From the 1860s to the 1930s, it was the rich and powerful center of the foreign establishment in Shanghai, operating as a legally protected treaty port.
