Why is Shanghai called Shanghai Beach?

1. Old Shanghai refers to Shanghai, which was "Shili Yangchang" and "the largest city in the Far East" in the 1920s and 1930s. Shanghai is an immigrant city, which developed from concessions (Huangpu, Jing 'an, Hongkou and Yangpu are mainly British and American public concessions, Changning is a cross-border road-building area of public concessions, and Luwan and Xuhui are mainly French concessions). The first British Concession was established in Huangpu Beach, a wasteland outside the East Gate of Shanghai County, which was later called the Bund. So old Shanghai is also called Shanghai Beach.

2. Because Shanghai Bund is located in the east of Huangpu District, east of Huangpu River. It used to refer to the narrow strip on the west bank of Huangpu River between Shiliupu, Zhongshan Donger Road, Waima Road and Suzhou River, but now it starts from Xinkai River at the southern end.

This used to be the beach beside Huangpu River. After the opening of Shanghai, the colonists built roads here. Westerners call it the Bund, while China people write about the Bund or Huangpu Beach. The southern section is called the Bund in France. After the road was completed, banks and foreign companies concentrated. Famous buildings include HSBC Building, Customs Building and Bank of China Building. These buildings have different architectural styles.

Now the Bund is one of the financial centers in Shanghai, with customs, Chinese and foreign banks, etc. Also, because there used to be many banks and foreign firms on the Bund, which was the center of Shanghai's economic development and was very famous, people often referred to Shanghai as Shanghai Beach.
