Garden Bridge (Waibaidu Bridge) & North Bund
外白渡桥
A century-old steel truss bridge at the confluence of the Suzhou Creek, and China's first all-steel bridge. It sits in the same frame as the Park Hotel and the North Bund riverside.
Garden Bridge (Waibaidu Bridge) crosses the confluence of the Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River. Completed in 1907, it was China's first all-steel riveted bridge and is an iconic filming location in Shanghai. On the north side of the bridge are the Art Deco-style Broadway Mansions and the former Astor House Hotel (now the Pujiang Hotel). To the east, the North Bund riverside walkway stretches out, offering views of Lujiazui and the Bund from different angles. The view is especially photogenic after dark when the lights come on. The bridge is free to cross all day. Take Metro Line 2 or 10 to Nanjing East Road Station and walk about 15 minutes, or walk over from the north end of the Bund. It connects North Bund, the Shanghai Postal Museum, and the Suzhou Creek walkway.
