Shanghai, China | The Bund and Financial District

Shanghai Bund Morning Walk (April 2026) | Wall Art, Flower Pots, Skyline Views & Cruise Day

Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast records a morning walk at the lower level of The Bund sightseeing platform in Shanghai, China in April 2026, highlighting creative floral wall art made from rows of small potted plants arranged into large decorative designs.

This scenic walk also features waterfront views, passing ships, city traffic, and skyline perspectives near East Nanjing Road. Along the way, Justin captures details of the busy morning scene, including tourists, joggers, photo spots, Chinese flags, historic architecture, and financial district buildings.

He also points out additional public art displays with wave-like and bird-themed designs, possible access to the sightseeing tunnel, and views of buses, taxis, and other traffic moving through central Shanghai. Filmed at around 8:30 a.m. in pleasant 65Β°F weather, this video offers a relaxing look at one of Shanghai’s most famous waterfront areas.

Justin was staying at the Hyatt on the Bund and reached the area via Shanghai Metro near East Nanjing Road, making this a useful look at the area for travelers interested in Shanghai sightseeing, The Bund, China walking tours, and pre-cruise exploration.
