We had our digestive walk on the Bund, this embankment along the muddy waterfront of the Huangpu River, or what it used to be in the 1850s. The river splits Shanghai into two parts. A fabulous sight on the Pudong on the east side, with its business buildings, huge screens and illuminations; and the west side where you can appreciate constructions in western-inspired styles --classical, gothic, renaissance, eclectic and modern--a reported seventeen styles of architecture. Formerly, this place used to be vital to the interests of the entire foreign settlement. But today, tourists have invaded the Bund and you can see camera flashes everywhere. Shanghai souvenirs are to be bargained allover the place and weird monsters come out from nowhere.
Back to our hotel, we wanted to check out its roof top bar and the “special happy hour for our very special guests” thing. The bar is designed as a boat (right, we are in captain hostel), the warm atmosphere sticks you to the red couches. The sixth floor, please enjoy the magnificent Lu-Jia-Zui New District and the Bund's most gorgeous buildings.
