West Bund
A former airport and coal terminal turned into the densest stretch of contemporary art in the country.
The West Bund is the newest district on this list and the least crowded: four kilometres of riverside promenade, two major museums, an oil-tank art park and a former aircraft hangar. It is also mostly outdoors, so it rewards a clear day and punishes a grey one.
West Bund: Museums & Riverfront
Four kilometres of former coal docks and runway turned into museums, oil tanks and the best flat riverside path in the city.
Wukang Road & the French Concession
Plane trees, low balconies and a street that bends eleven times. The Shanghai most visitors picture, walked slowly.
