Broadly, central Shanghai is divided into two areas: Puxi (west of the Huangpu
River) and Pudong (east of the Huangpu River). The historical attractions and
charm are in Puxi, where Shanghai's personality lives: the Bund (officially
called East Zhongshan No 1 Rd) and the former foreign concessions, the prin-
cipal shopping districts, and Shanghai's trendiest clusters of bars, restaurants
and nightclubs. Pudong - the location of the financial district and the famous
Shanghai skyline - is a very recent creation, with sights falling in the observa-
tion deck/skyscraping towers/museums arena.
