Heading back to the north you can see the residential heart of Shanghai at Puxi district on the west bank followed by the world renowned Bund. Many of the historical buildings along the Bund were erected around the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were originally home to the many banks and trading houses that sprung up at that time from the UK, Europe, United States and Russia. Further along the west bank you will see the Monument to the People’s Heroes. On the east bank is the modern skyscraper filled commercial district of Pudong with the two world-renowned towers; Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jin Mao Tower.As the sun goes down and the light fades the Pudong waterfront is lit up with the lights from all the modern buildings shimmering on the water and throwing a blaze of color into the night sky.
