The Dialogue through Centuries

CITIC PLAZA is located on North Sichuan Road of Hongkou old district in Shanghai. The site is close to the Bund area and the new CBD in the northern Bund currently under construction.

The Wàitān Quay or Bund is an area of Huangpu District in central Shanghai within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River facing Pudong. The 1.5 km long waterfront houses 52 buildings of various architectural styles such as Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neo-Classical, Beaux-Arts, and Art Deco. That’s why this particular location is often called the “world architecture museum”. The Bund is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai, which supposes the most careful planning of any new development.
