Pudong is the view everyone photographs from the Bund, and an oddly unsatisfying place to be inside: the towers are too close together to read from the pavement. Do the observation deck if the day is clear, walk the riverside, then leave on the ferry — which is where Pudong finally makes sense.

Lujiazui: The Skyline Walk

You have seen the skyline from the Bund. This is the version from underneath, plus the ferry, the riverside park and one very good museum.
