The Bund Sightseeing Tour

The Bund Sightseeing tour in Shanghai, also known as the Psychedelic Tunnel, is definitely one of the stranger attractions I visited in China. From the Pudong to the Bund, this tunnel will provide you with probably the weirdest 5 minutes in Shanghai (although there's no guarantee you won't find something weirder out there!).


It's a little over priced, frankly, at 50 yuan per person (about £5), and I definitely wouldn't bother with the return journey! Considering the ferry across the Huangpu river costs about 20p per trip and includes beautiful views of the water front on both sides (assuming you can see past the pollution), the Psychedelic Tunnel is definitely something you only need to do once. It's worth it though, if it's on your way.

The Bund Sightseeing experience (which doesn't actually involve seeing any sites, of course) also includes some other, potentially weirder, exhibits, including a 'Freaks' exhibit. They were quite expensive though and I opted not to visit.

I'd love to hear from anybody who has braved the even quirkier exhibits on offer here (post a comment if that's you!)
