About Bund Sightseeing Tunnel

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel runs under the Huangpu River between the Bund and Pudong and houses a cable-hauled passenger line 646.7 metres long, with a station at each end. Construction began in 1998 and trial operation in October 2000. Unmanned SK 6000 carriages imported from France are pulled by a cable, and passengers get a sound and light show during the crossing, which takes three to five minutes. It was built as a tourist attraction, and a ride costs more than ten times the price of a metro ticket.

Getting there

The line has two stations, one at each end of the tunnel. Puxi Station, on the Bund side, is at 300 Zhongshan East 1st Road, north of Chen Yi Square and east of Nanjing East Road. Pudong Station is at 2789 Binjiang Road, beneath the Oriental Pearl Tower, so the tunnel is a direct way to cross the Huangpu River between the Bund promenade and the tower on the other bank.
