While the Bund (west side) gets all the attention, the Lujiazui Riverside Promenade on the Pudong side offers an equally spectacular — and far less crowded — view back across the river to the colonial-era buildings. Take Line 2 to Lujiazui station and walk through the financial district to reach the riverbank. Sunset is when the Bund's stonework lights up gold. The Bund-Pudong ferry (3 RMB) connects the two sides if you want both perspectives in one evening. Free at all hours.

Olivia M.·TripAdvisor·5/5
The Pudong side view of the Bund is honestly better than from the Bund itself. Way fewer people.

The 3 RMB ferry from the Bund is the best deal in Shanghai. Combine both sides in one evening.
