Why North Bund Bay Shines on Screen
As Shanghai's very own Wall Street, North Bund Bay has become a symbol of the city's cultural blend of old and new. Similar to how the Great Wall defines Beijing, this riverfront district captures both history and modern energy – making it a must-see backdrop for filmmakers.
North Bund Bay has rolled out the red carpet for hits like Go Lala Go 2 and Five Hundred Miles, and has hosted reality heavyweights such as Running Man, Challenger Alliance and Go Fighting! The combination of art-deco shophouses, gleaming skyscrapers and neon-lit riverbanks provides endless creative angles for directors and viewers around the world.
For travelers and digital nomads, a stroll along the Bund delivers more than just photo ops. It's a living set where you can almost hear the echo of cameras rolling, and imagine the global stories that unfolded here. Whether you're a cinema buff, a social media storyteller or someone hunting immersive urban moments, North Bund Bay offers a slice of Shanghai's on-screen magic.
