8. The Bund, Shanghai上海外滩
The Bund, meaning embankment, was historically the seat of Shanghai's most powerful businessmen in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Bund is a fabulous place to see examples of Shanghai's rich architectural history, illustrated by the HSBC Building, built in 1923 and at the time said to be "the most luxurious building between the Suez Canal and the Bering Strait."
外滩,在18世纪到19世纪期间是上海最有权势商人们的住所。这里是游览上海富豪建筑历史范本的绝佳地点,包括史建于1923年的汇丰银行大楼,当时它被称为“苏伊士运河和白令海峡之间最奢侈的建筑”。
