The Bund lies on a section of East-1 Zhongshan Road, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River. In 1930s, the Shanghai Bund had dozens of historical buildings lining the Huangpu River that once housed numerous banks and trading houses from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as the consulates of Russia and Britain, the Shanghai Club and the Masonic Club. It was initially a British settlement; later the British and American settlements were combined in the International Settlement. Magnificent commercial buildings in the Beaux Arts style sprung up in the years around the turn of the 20th century as the Bund developed into a major financial center of East Asia. Located in Shanghai, the most economic booming and multi-culture rich zone in both history and now in China and the Far East, Waitan® has vast access to talented engineers and supply chain resources in Shanghai metro area which lets Waitan maintain competitive edges of advanced research, development and production of SSD processors and solid state drives. ...
