It is brightly lit at night and the most popular destination for tourists and locals in Shanghai. People from all walks of life gather at the Bund to snap pictures of that beautifully-lighted architectural scenery. The Bund is oftentimes packed with visitors at night.

From the perpetually packed promenade of the Bund, there are excellent views of Pudong's modern skyscrapers just opposite the Huangpu River. That certainly gives you a strong contrast between modern and classic architecture. Pudong especially features the most magnificent skyscraper standing amongst the many tall buildings, the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai's famous landmark.. 
The best way to view the Bund and Pudong's skyscrapers are by Huangpu river cruise or ferry and through the Bund tourist tunnel - a slow-moving tram of a low-tech, antique tunnel of the 80's era or also known as the 'Sightseeing Tunnel'.
