The Bund at Night

The Bund is an area of Shanghai that is very metropolitan and very nice. There is a lot of shopping and is surrounded by skyscrapers! it is also one of the most popular tourist sites because of the famous view of Shanghai! This is it during the day...
 And this is the Bund at night!! SO COLORFUL!
The tower with the spherical parts is the Pearl Tower and the building that is outlined in blue in the back a little bit is the main financial building in Shanghai! The building that says "Aurora" on the top of it is basically a giant billboard at night, you can kind of see it in the picture but the entire building is LED lights that play ads of different places in Shanghai! I didn't get a picture of it but there is also a ferry that is completely covered in lights that goes across the river! After seeing the skyline, Charly and I ventured below the river to experience the "Bund Tourist Tunnel". Basically a slow-moving roller coaster in a tunnel with lots of colorful lights! It probably wasn't worth the 60¥I paid for it, but it was worth saying that I at least did it while in Shanghai!
