EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Shanghai, China. The image showcases the iconic Waibaidu (Garden) Bridge, gracefully arching over the Suzhou Creek, and providing a stunning view of The Bund. The Bund, a renowned waterfront area in central Shanghai, is famously known for its historic buildings, which line Zhongshan Road along the western bank of the Huangpu River. During this era, The Bund was part of the former Shanghai International Settlement, a unique region governed by various foreign powers. This area, facing Pudong in the eastern part of Huangpu District, was a bustling hub of commerce and culture. The Waibaidu Bridge, also known as the Garden Bridge, was an essential part of the city's infrastructure. It served as a vital crossing point for both pedestrians and vehicles, connecting the western and eastern sides of the Suzhou Creek. The bridge's elegant design, reminiscent of traditional Chinese gardens, added to the picturesque beauty of the area. This photograph is a testament to Shanghai's rich history, showcasing the harmonious blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles that defined the city during the Republican period. The tranquil scene, with the bridge and the Bund bathed in soft light, invites the viewer to imagine the vibrant life that once thrived along the banks of the Huangpu River.
