The Bund, Shanghai

 

I've forgotten how stunning it is, The Bund.

And how chilly Shanghai nights are in the month of April.

 The Bund centers on a section of Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu

 

 

Because it was freezing that night, we walked only a part of it, just the short distance from our dinner at Mr. & Mrs Bund back to our hotel Westin Bund Center Shanghai.

It was a beautiful stroll and the buildings were so very handsome! Each structure felt like Prince Charming wooing me with its power, its grandeur, its strength and its glow. 

Princes from the Baroque, Classical, Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance eras... Aaahhhhhhhh… I am in love with them all!!!

Apart from the old buildings, modern buildings and flower display, one of the most popular
attractions on the bund is The Bund Bull. The bull symbolizes perseverance, diligence and wealth
in Chinese culture. The Bund Bull symbolizes a bullish and prosperous future for Shanghai.

Everyone wanted a photo with the bull, including us and RoboCop!
But honestly, I think more people are interested in the bull's balls. 
Look behind my back.
