The Bund is Shanghai's iconic waterfront promenade, a living monument to the city's complex history. On one side, a row of grand, floodlit colonial-era buildings lines the boulevard, while across the Huangpu River, the futuristic skyscrapers of Pudong create a dazzling neon spectacle. This striking contrast between old and new is best experienced at dusk, when the lighting of both shores transforms the area into a breathtaking tableau. A stroll along the Bund offers a quintessential Shanghai experience, capturing the city's dynamic blend of tradition and modernity.

Palais Longchamp is an extraordinary, majestic building right in the middle of the city that throws you years back in time with its ornamental staircases and large fountains. The building houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Natural History Museum.

Krosshaugen is a stone cross dating from the earliest Christian period in Norway (about 1000 AD). This location has functioned as a Parliament site and the cross may be a monument to the farmers who converted to the Christian faith during sessions of Parliament. It is believed that Christian mass was performed beside these stone crosses before churches were built.
