Now that the dust has settled on reconstruction along the Bund, the local lads are out in force again with their kites, catching the early morning breeze off the Huangpu.

The refurbishment of the promenade, undertaken by NBBJ and partner firm Chan Krieger Sieniewicz was completed in time for the opening of the Shanghai World Expo on May 1st. As the day progresses, the Bund promenade becomes a major drawcard for tourists and local alike.

At dusk, the lights on the classic facades of the Bund provide a stoic balance to the brash sleekness of the glass and steel towers of Pudong.
