EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1930s in Shanghai, China, with this photograph of The Bund's Public Garden and Bridge. This iconic waterfront area, located in central Shanghai along the western bank of the Huangpu River, was a focal point of the former Shanghai International Settlement. The image showcases the lush Public Garden, where locals and expats alike would gather for leisurely strolls among the blooming flowers and tranquil ponds. In the foreground, the elegant bridge arches over the river, connecting Zhongshan Road to the bustling streets of the International Settlement. The Bund, meaning "embankment," was a significant riverside area in Shanghai during the Republic era. This section of Zhongshan Road was home to various European consulates, trading houses, and financial institutions, making it a hub of international commerce and culture. The English tramlines and boats in the river add to the scene's vibrant energy. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into Shanghai's rich history. The Bund's Public Garden and Bridge stand as a testament to the city's past, showcasing its unique blend of Eastern and Western influences. Today, The Bund remains a popular tourist destination, allowing visitors to experience Shanghai's fascinating history and stunning waterfront views.
