Lalique glasses, started by the French glass designer René Lalique, was very popular in the 20th century. The fashion spread from Europe to the world, and to Shanghai's Cathay Hotel (now the Fairmont Peace Hotel). The owner Victor Sassoon ordered lalique art pieces for his luxury hotel on the bund and opened a lalique shop inside the hotel. Today on the 9th floor of the Peace Hotel, you can still find the original lalique glasses from 1920s.

Taking ferry is an interesting experience on Shanghai's mother river, the Huangpu River. It has been the oldest yet effective transportation to cross the river. The operation of ferry in Shanghai started from 1910. With over 100 years development, there are now 18 ferry lines in Shanghai. Besides the view of the bund and Lujiazui financial centre, there is also a taste of local life by watching people on the ferries.

It is strange to have a beach in front of the river, a river that runs through the city. Nothing is impossible in Shanghai. So here it is -  a man-made sunny beach south of the Bund. A small area with sands, umbrellas and tables faces the highrises in Lujiazui financial centre.
