Tour Group Visits The Bund Shanghai.
**
**
 The Bund Shanghai is a wide, tree lined boulevard sweeping alongside the Huangpo River,
where cruise ships moor at the quays, and where the booming horns of cargo boats can be heard.
The Bund Shanghai stalls were selling ice creams and cold drinks, others, postcards and Shanghai mementoes.
Litter Free Shanghai Streets And Roads
There was no litter on the Bund Shanghai, and a notice in Chinese Characters, fixed to one of the trees, was easily understood, even by the foreigners. The pretty colorful summer dresses of two of the foreigners, strolling along the Bund Shanghai,  contrasted sharply with the black and white clothes of the Chinese men sitting on the Bund Shanghai benches, which seemed to be the norm in most of the places we visited.
In later years this would change, as they had more disposable income and became fashion conscious.
On a bench under the trees of the Bund Shanghai a Chinese father proudly nursed his young baby and on other benches young men slept in the heat of the day. It is to the Bund Shanghai young men bring their girl friends in the cool of the evenings, away from their crowded Shanghai homes, where there is little privacy.
Chinese People On The Bund Shanghai And Tourists Attract Each Other
Two young girls gazed intently at us as we passed then broke into an excited chatter, just as our group in 1987 did, when we were traveling in the coach and saw something different through the window. It seemed that the foreigners and the Chinese people on the Bund Shanghai had at least one thing in common, even if the languages were completely
different. We would be taken to some of the places of interest in every town and city we visited, but by walking the Shanghai streets or gazing through the coach window, there was the opportunity to form one's own opinion about the lives of the ordinary Chinese people.
Fleeting glimpses captured the imagination, then came the frustration from not knowing their thoughts or topic of conversation.
I would have given anything to have been able to share the joke of these two Shanghai workers, as we left the Bund Shanghai to visit the Jade Buddha Temple.
