Shanghai - Bund

The row of colonial buildings along the Bund. The two prominent buildings on the left are the former HSBC headquarters (now Pudong Development Bank) and Customs House (still the formal seat of Shanghai Customs)

Shanghai Tan sung by Andy Lau.

Building details:

The former Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation headquarters was built between 1921 and 1923 and has a steel frame with a neo-classical outer style. Reflecting the seasonal variations common to Shanghai, the building was the first in Shanghai to have both heating and cooling systems. After the liberation in 1949 the building became the home of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government until 1995. Now it houses the Pudong Development Bank.

Customs House was built between 1925 and 1927, replacing a smaller Customs House which stood on the same site. The clock in the tower was the largest in Asia when it was built, its face measuring 5.4 metres in diameter with a 3.17 m long minute hand.
