Description
It is hard to believe the tiny Bund Signal Tower, housing the Bund Museum, was once the tallest building in Asia. Almost 150 years ago, it was an observatory and gave out regular time signals for people around the Bund (Wai Tan) to set their clocks and watches. An all-year-round photo exhibition depicting the Bund's history is on the first floor. The second floor contains a bar showing films of early Shanghai. The third floor observation deck is the best place for a good view of the Huang Pu River.
