The Bund, was built in a half-century ago to the 20th century, two to three decades on behalf of the scale, but until 90 years before they can be said to enter a real maturity.
However, in this period before the arrival of the Bund in Shanghai have become a symbol of pride in the minds of the people of Shanghai. Movies, television shows, as long as there Bund empty lens, there ancient Roman temple in the former municipal building style dome, there customs clock, there Peace Hotel Yiu Yiu brilliance of copper imitation pyramid spire, there Suzhou River Bridge outside of the steel beam white on, without any doubt the audience into Shanghai. Such as Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road, People's Square, such a landscape, everywhere there may be, may also be better; like the scenery of the Bund this, let alone traveled with China can not find a match, I am afraid the world is also unique. So, when the Bund renovation project launched, when the Pudong development, east along the Yellow River River planning, the construction of the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone, some of the old Shanghai in mind, it is rather doubts. New Bund and the river project can be multi-purpose block of granite that magnificent brick building echoes? The east coast of the rise of the new army, can match with these old aristocracy, comparable? Can complement each other, icing on the cake? will continue raccoon dog tail, self-defeating?
These doubts are not unfounded. Although Shanghai is not engaged in building construction for many years to allow 24-story International Hotel Shanghai No. 1 occupied a high degree of up to nearly half a century, but by 1983, there were higher than the International Hotel, Shanghai hotels appeared, after which on the first record of a high frequency be broken. From the architectural style of speaking, streamlined structure, all-glass curtain wall of modern architecture, popular in Shanghai soon, Meaningful lines, bright colors, such as wearing a bright red green, vibrant, Baba Cha-cha boys and girls, suddenly into the people's vision . It started while the shock the United States, and then to enjoy, and gradually become commonplace, but the discarded satisfied. Often said that building is a solidification of music, with the music analogy, Waltz, Serenade of course, people Xinjing sway, at the foot of wind, but in the end is soul-stirring symphony people food for thought. Pu can not do anything by the sea water, except for Wushan not see clouds. In the original construction trade show, opposite the Palais, to build a new era of construction trade show, the old Shanghai has such a worry is understandable.
Just five years time, the new Bund an expansion project is completed, more like a new building on the east coast of the contiguous sprung up into the sky, a new look, shiny, new Bund show people's eyes, sweeping away the treasure of old Shanghai Bund cloud of hearts. The new Bund is a completely new, but the new must have a heritage, and refrain from exaggeration, there is no kind of upstart-hui yao jade tacky. The new Bund is quieter, but Young is the truth, no pretense, there is no empty one so that Mao Haizi head of Jiaokuang. Is now Asia's first major summer Jin Mao tower, grass and white walls, wearing a three-dimensional space, like an ancient pagoda Sui non-sik, the wave on the podium like a bumpy fishing. Close to the coast in Huangpu Jiangdong Shangri-La Hotel, deep maroon brick wall, like a castle and like a tall plant, with the front of the Riverside-Tun linshui of a row of black-painted cast iron railings, as well as a giant platform The Anchor sculpture, and blend into one, I can hear coming through the history of space-time dip distant bell. Display anchor platform, originally novelty shipyard pier. The shipyard, founded in 1902, is one of the earliest national capital. Such an atmosphere, so I wander round. New Bund is one such, a pull to the history of a road in the future, following to the exploitation of this reality, the rich, Smart, joyfully lively, which means Hidenaga.
The most beautiful moment of the new Bund at night. When the brightly lit, magic-like floodlights, the River on both sides of the old and new buildings lit-ling Long-clear, just like King House Yu-word. Lights reflected in the river surface, river Ambilight. People Xianbu in broad Binjiang Dao, the like into fairyland. In addition to the severe winter, a year in spring, summer, autumn night, it was still young couples the Holy Land. The new flood wall next to the still thick pairs accompanied rooms can not be boxing. Pudong Riverside Avenue, the couple's slightly smaller, but also put a fixed stone bench and not fixed to the iron chair was jammed. The Bund is a "lover wall" argument has a total of well known, but why Is today's young people in Shanghai, including local and long-living to living away from Shanghai, or coincidentally Ben "The Lover Wall" Come on, is not open so many cafes, dance hall, teahouse, nightclubs do? If you ask to check the couple of those out, then perhaps each and every person has a different version, but, while the feelings of each person vary, one thing is there is no doubt, that is, it is Because of the unique charm of the Bund.
The Bund, Shanghai's promenade, which fully demonstrated to the world of Shanghai's culture, which is alien civilization, civilization and the local organic blends, innovation and the development of outstanding ability. River Island on cross-strait floor new building on the solidification of such a culture with a magnificent symphony.
