Step into a living museum of architecture where Baroque meets neon! Shanghai’s Bund, a century-old symbol of the city’s rise as a global hub, is stealing the spotlight during the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) this week. 🌆✨
Time-Travel Through Buildings
Think of the Bund as a ‘Greatest Hits’ album of global design – Gothic spires, Ancient Greek columns, and art deco facades stand shoulder-to-shoulder like a fashion runway for history buffs. Locals call it an 'open-air architecture museum,' and this week, it’s backdrop to business deals and cultural exchanges at CIIE.
Expo Meets Nightlife Glow
As night falls, the Bund transforms into a dazzling light show – skyscrapers across the Huangpu River flicker with digital art, while historic buildings like the Peace Hotel glow like vintage jewelry. Pro tip for CIIE attendees: Grab a bubble tea and stroll the riverwalk for time-travel vibes! 🥤🌉
With over 3,400 companies showcasing tech and trends at the expo, Shanghai proves it’s where old-world charm shakes hands with tomorrow’s innovations. Whether you’re into history, business, or Instagram-worthy views – this city’s got a lane for you. 🚀📸
