Bund Finance Center

About

The BFC is a modern mixed-use complex that serves as a bridge between the historic Bund and the newer commercial districts. Its architectural highlight is the Fosun Foundation building, designed by Heatherwick Studio, which features a 'moving facade' of three layers of golden bronze tassels that rotate around the building like a theater curtain. This 'dancing' building is a masterpiece of kinetic architecture. The complex includes luxury shopping, art galleries, and a rooftop bar. Expert recommendation: Check the schedule for the facade movement—it usually 'dances' several times a day accompanied by music. Pro Tip: On weekends, the BFC hosts the 'Weekend Market,' a popular outdoor fair with food, crafts, and live music. The rooftop terrace of the Ritz-Bar offers one of the most stunning, unobstructed views of the Pudong skyline across the river.
