Morning Walk on The Bund, Shanghai | Skyline Views, River Boats & Hyatt on the Bund

Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast takes an early morning walk along The Bund in Shanghai, China, showcasing iconic skyline views, historic waterfront buildings, passing riverboats, and the atmosphere near East Nanjing Road.

Filmed after breakfast at Hyatt on the Bund, this Shanghai walking tour captures the contrast between the quiet morning scene and the colorful nighttime lights that make The Bund so famous.

Along the way, Justin points out distinctive skyscrapers across the river, classic banking architecture, flags, landscaped gardens, waterfront shelters, and panda figures along the promenade.

He also shares practical travel context, including nearby metro access, the cool weather after rain, possible thunderstorms later in the day, and his upcoming cruise departure from Shanghai.

This Shanghai travel video offers a relaxing look at one of the city’s most famous attractions, with useful observations for visitors staying nearby or planning a walk along the Bund.
