China: Panoramic view of The Bund (Waitan) looking north towards Hongkou, c. 1936-1937. A panoramic view of The Bund looking north towards Waibaidu Bridge. Beyond the British flag is the clocktower of the Custom House, the distinctive steepled Sassoon House (now the Peace Hotel) and in the distance Broadway Mansions, completed in 1935. The tall building under construction next to the Sassoon Building is the future Bank of China Building; construction commenced in 1936 and was completed in 1937, allowing this image to be accurately dated.
