摘要

The Bund, the most charming area of Shanghai, bears witness to the city's historical depth, economic prosperity, and cultural, inheriting the vein of urban civilization. In 1844 (the twenty-fourth year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty), the Bund was designated as a British concession, becoming a true portrayal of the international settlement in Shanghai's ten-mile stretch. This marked the beginning of modern Shanghai's urban development, as well as the old Shanghai concession and the entire city's modern era.
