@beijingchina_066: Every building on the Bund was a bank 🏛️ Shanghai's waterfront was built by trading houses and banks in the early 1900s — each one competing to look more impressive than the next 💰 The former HSBC building has a domed mosaic ceiling that was plastered over for decades to hide it, then rediscovered 😳 Look up when you walk past. Some lobbies are open 👀 Free to see 📍 #shanghai #thebund #china #chinatravel #architecture #artdeco #history
