About Bund Sightseeing Tunnel
The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel offers a surreal journey beneath Shanghai's iconic Huangpu River. This unconventional attraction whisks visitors on an automated train ride through a psychedelic underworld, where visual themes ranging from "Time Tunnel" to "Magmatic Ejection" unfold in a kaleidoscope of lights and sound. As you embark on this subterranean passage, you'll find yourself transported into what its creators describe as the "core of the Earth". The journey, spanning 646.7 meters, connects the historic Bund to the futuristic Lujiazui area of Pudong, offering a unique perspective on Shanghai's contrasting landscapes. While some may find the experience reminiscent of a 1980s music video, others appreciate its kitsch appeal and the brief respite it provides from Shanghai's frenetic pace. The tunnel's psychedelic ambiance creates a memorable, if slightly disorienting, interlude in your exploration of the city. It's worth noting that while the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel isn't the most practical way to cross the river - it's pricier than the metro or ferry - it does offer a quicker and more entertaining alternative. The ride's brevity, typically lasting only a few minutes, makes it an easy addition to your Shanghai itinerary. For those seeking an offbeat experience or a unique photo opportunity, this trippy tourist attraction delivers a dose of the unexpected. Just don't expect a traditional sightseeing experience - the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is less about seeing Shanghai and more about immersing yourself in a fantastical underground world.The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel offers a surreal journey beneath Shanghai’s iconic Huangpu River.
