The Bund has the Wan Guo Building Group preserved in the opening period (now it has become the office building of major banks, financial and insurance companies, bungalows in the water, very good-looking), and the old-fashioned commercial street Nanjing Road, which has survived years of prosperity. On the other side is Lujiazui, which brings together the top financial institutions, as well as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Center, World Financial Center, and Jinmao Tower. It can be said that it is the best epitome of Shanghai classical and modern.
