To the left of the walkway are light brownish-grey stone buildings in various late-19th and early-20th-century architectural styles, with taller buildings in the distance.

The Bund or Waitan (Chinese外滩pinyinWàitānShanghainese: nga3thae1, literally: "Outer Beach") is a waterfront area in central Shanghai. The area centers on a section of Zhongshan Road (East-1 Zhongshan Road) within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the eastern part of Huangpu District. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in the Pudong District. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai. Building heights are restricted in the area.
