The Bund and Environs Brief Introduction Location History Layout and Functions The attractions Brief Introduction **Name: Called Waitan (外滩） by Chinese, means Waterfront. But since colonial times, this premier mile was originally named by the British as “Bund”. “Bund” derives from Anglo-Indian word for an embankment along a muddy waterfront and today this term still survives. 在一百五十年前，上海仅是江南沿海的一个中等县城，航运事业很不发达，人们没必要，也没能力在沿江修筑堤岸，所以除东门黄浦江岸外大部分江岸是一片自然滩地，退潮时，江水聚滞在河床中心，露出一大片滩地，涨潮时，江水又没过河滩。 黄浦江是上海的主要河道，由于江宽水急，逆水而行的船只就须拉纤行走。几百年来，纤夫的足迹就在黄浦江滩踩出一条曲折多弯的小道，人们称之“纤道”，这纤道就是外滩最早的路了。
