Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views
The Pudong Development Bank Building is located in the Bund’s famous collection of international architecture on the Shanghai waterfront. This neoclassical Greek Revival structure was built in 1923 and originally served as the Shanghai branch of the British Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). At the time, the United States hailed this building as the most exquisite from the Suez Canal to the Bering Strait in the Far East. Among the century-old murals is a band of inscriptions, translated as “All under heaven are brothers,” symbolizing peace and prosperity across the world at the dawn of the new century.
