The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel: A Whimsical Journey Under the Huangpu River
The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel offers a unique and somewhat quirky way to travel between the Bund in Puxi and the Lujiazui financial district in Pudong, under the Huangpu River. While not a traditional sightseeing attraction, it provides a short, psychedelic multimedia experience that can be a fun diversion, especially for families with children.
What to See and Do
Multimedia Light Show: As you travel in a small, automated cabin through the tunnel, you'll be surrounded by colorful lights, abstract projections, and sound effects. The themes often revolve around space, the ocean, and other fantastical elements, creating a surreal and immersive experience.
Cross the Huangpu River: It's a quick and convenient way to cross the river, especially if you want to avoid the crowds of the ferry or the longer metro ride.
Unique Perspective: While you don't see the river itself, the tunnel offers a different kind of visual experience compared to the panoramic views from the Bund or the skyscrapers.
Best Time to Visit
The tunnel is an indoor attraction and can be visited year-round. It's often used as a quick transfer between the Bund and Lujiazui. It can be particularly enjoyable in the evening when the lights are more pronounced.
How to Get There
The Puxi entrance is located on the Bund, near Chenyi Square (close to Nanjing Road East). The Pudong entrance is near the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Lujiazui.
Travel Tips
Manage expectations: It's more of a fun, short ride than a deep cultural or historical experience. Don't expect grand views or historical insights.
Combine with other attractions: It's best used as a convenient and entertaining way to travel between the Bund and the Lujiazui area, where you can then visit attractions like the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, or Shanghai Ocean Aquarium.
Ticket price: Be aware of the ticket price, as it might be considered high for the short duration of the ride by some visitors.

Guangfulin Relics Park
The Guangfu Lin Ruins are a Neolithic site. The cultural layers of the Guangfu Lin Ruins are divided into three layers. The upper layer is the Wu-Yue culture layer from the Spring and Autumn-Warring States period, the middle layer is the Maqiao culture layer from the Xia-Shang period, and the lower layer is the Liangzhu culture layer from the Neolithic period. The unearthed pottery shards with the characteristics of the Henan Yufang culture can be used to infer that the earliest ancestors of the people in Shanghai were from Henan. The remains of the Maqiao Culture and Songze Culture unearthed, etc., are witnesses to the life of the prehistoric people in Shanghai. The discovery of the Guangfu Lin Ruins has clarified the stratigraphic relationship between the Songze Culture, the Liangzhu Culture and the Guangfu Lin Culture, and has enriched the cultural sequence of the Neolithic period in the Taihu Lake region.
