Morning Walk at Shanghai’s Garden Bridge & The Bund

Justin Vacula records an early morning walk in Shanghai, China near Garden Bridge and The Bund waterfront while staying at the Hyatt on the Bund before boarding Royal Caribbean’s Spectrum of the Seas.

In this video, he shares peaceful morning views of Shanghai’s skyline, river traffic, bridges, city streets, and waterfront paths as the city begins to wake up.

Along the way, Justin highlights the cloudy but pleasant weather, light breezes, and views of pedestrians, joggers, cyclists, buses, and other public transit moving through the area.

He also points out landscaped green spaces, flowers, security features, and the convenience of reaching the area by Shanghai Metro, including access near East Nanjing Road. This walk offers a relaxing look at one of Shanghai’s most famous waterfront areas before the start of a Royal Caribbean cruise from Shanghai.

If you enjoy Shanghai travel videos, The Bund, Royal Caribbean cruise content, hotel stays, and points and miles travel, this video gives you a scenic look at the area before embarkation.
