Shanghai, China | The Bund Observation Platform

Morning Walk on The Bund in Shanghai (April 2026) | Views, Boats, Skyline & Sightseeing Platform

Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast takes an early morning walk along The Bund in Shanghai, China in April 2026, sharing scenic views from the famous waterfront sightseeing platform after crossing Garden Bridge.

In this video, he captures the peaceful morning atmosphere along the river, including close-up views of the promenade, historic architecture, modern skyline elements, and buildings across the water that include banks, offices, museums, and other notable landmarks.

Justin notes the cool and breezy weather, with cloudy skies and temperatures around 65Β°F at about 8:00 AM, making for a comfortable walk before the city becomes busier. He points out passing boats, ferries, a cargo ship, landscaped flower areas, the sightseeing tunnel near East Nanjing Road, and local signs with unusual rules and observations from the area.

This video is ideal for viewers interested in Shanghai travel, The Bund, China walking tours, Royal Caribbean cruise travel, and scenic city waterfront views before embarkation.
