The Huangpu river is a symbol of Shanghai and one of the top attractions in the city. Both sides of the river have iconic landmarks, but with a very different back history. On one side, you can see the Bund, a street full of neoclassic styles buildings from the mid-19th century. On the other side there is Pudong, the financial district of the city, with skyscrapers like the Oriental Pearl Tower and Jinmao Tower
